Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test and the results obtained, it is concluded, that the test substance is not irritant to the eye.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the eye irritating potential of the test substance, 100 mg of the test item moistened with 0.3 mL of 0.9 % polyethyleneglycol was applied into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each of 3 rabbits. The untreated eye served as control. After 24 hours the treated eye was washed. The assessment of possible effects to the eyes was performed with the assistance of a lamp 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of test item. The eye reactions were assessed according to the numerical scoring system (acc. to Draize). The description of the degree and nature of irritation and the presence of serious damage were noted as follows:

- No mortality or signs of systemic toxicity occurred.

- Hyperemia was observed in all three animals at the one hour and 24 hour time point with a maximum score of 2. This effect was still observed in one animal with a score of 1 at the 48 hour time point (mean score 0.7 - 1 - 0.3). This effect was reversible within 72 hours.

- Chemosis of the conjunctiva was observed in two animals one hour (maximal score 2) and in one animal 24 hours after application (mean score 0 - 0.3 - 0). This effect was reversible within 48 hours.

- No corneal opacity were observed in all three animals 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance (mean score 0-0-0).

- No effects at Iris was observed in all animals 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance (mean score 0-0-0).

Under the conditions of this test and the results obtained, it is concluded, that the test substance is not irritant to the eye.
