New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Italia S. p. A. (Como) (supplier), P.O.A.D.A. Mandello Lario (CO) (breeder), Italy
- Age at study initiation: 9 to 11 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 1.8 - 2.3 kg
- Housing: Animals were individually housed in stainless steel cages measuring 69x45x51 cm and equipped with grid floors. Cages were suspended over trays and each tray held an absorbent material which was inspected daily and changed as necessary. Throughout the study each cage was identified by a colour coded label recording the study number, animal number and the details of treatment. This colour coding matched the corresponding colour coded formulation container.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): a commercially available anti-biotic free pelleted laboratory diet (Altromin MSK, Altromin, D-32770, Lage Postfach 1120, Germany ad libitum throughout the study.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Animals were offered drinking water supplied to each cage via water bottles.
- Acclimation period: 10 d

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19°C ± 2°C
- Humidity (%): 55% ± 15%
- Air changes (per hr):
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 / 12

EXAMINATIONS
- Ophtalmoscopic examination: the treated eye examined macroscopically for damage or irritation to the cornea, iris and conjunctivae using the untreated eye as a comparator control.
- Scoring system: according to OECD 405
- Observation period: Ocular reactions were recorded 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application.
- Tool used to assess score: not mentioned

Other effects:
There was no indication of a systemic effect of treatment. Changes in body weight during the course of the study were not remarkable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute eye irritation of the test substance was investigated in the rabbit. A 0.1 g aliquot of the substance was introduced into the right eye of a total of 3 animals. The resulting reaction to treatment was assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing. Slight redness was noted in 1 animal at the 1 hour examination. No irritation was apparent at the 24, 48 or 72 hour post-dose examinations. The results of this study indicated that the test item has no significant irritant effect in the eye.
Executive summary:

The results of this study indicated that the test item has no significant irritant effect in the eye.
