Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test material induced mild irritation being reversible within 5 days. Therefore, the test material is not classified as irritant to the eyes according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study, 0.1 g of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 6 albino rabbits while the left eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of test material. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 5 and 7. The reactions in the conjunctivae (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the “Illustrated guide for grading eye irritation by hazardous substances”.

The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were as follows: 0.33 / 1.33 / 0.33 / 0 / 0 / 0.33 for redness, 0.33 / 1 / 0.33 / 0 / 0 / 0.33 for chemosis, 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 for iris lesions and 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 for corneal opacity. The observed conjunctival reactions were fully reversible within 5 days.

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

Although some details on test animals and experimental conditions were missing, this study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
