Irritant / corrosive response data:

One hour after dosing, some discharge and chemosis and definite conjunctival redness (grade 2-3) were noted in all 4 animals. Between 24 and 48 hours the irritation was reduced with only slight chemosis and/or redness in some animals. At 72 hours, no signs of irritation were detected in any animals. No corneal or iridial irritation occurred in any animal during the study.

Other effects:

No other effect

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

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

Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 4 female New Zealand White Rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of the test item.The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source. The reactions in the conjunctiva (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale. 

 

The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for all animals within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were as follows: 0.3 for chemosis; 0.4 for redness; 0.0 for discharge, iris and corneal lesions.

The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for each individual animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs) were as follows: 0.7/0.0/0.0/0.3 for chemosis; 0.7/0.3/0.0/0.7 for redness; 0/0/0/0 for discharge, iris and corneal lesions.

The effects observed were all reversible within 72 hours.

 

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

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
