- The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and
chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately. The individual mean scores for corneal opacity and iris were 0.00 for all three animals. The individual
mean scores for the conjunctivae were 0.33, 0.33 and 0.67 for reddening, respectively and 0.00 for chemosis for the three animals. No abnormal
findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the measurement intervals. A slight to moderate reddening of the conjunctivae
was noted in all animals at the 1-hour observation and persisted as slight up to the 24-hour reading in two animals and up to the 48 -hour
observation in one animal. Additionally, all animals expressed a slight reddening of the sclera 1 hour after instillation, which persisted in one female 24 hours later. Slight to moderate discharge was recorded in all three animals at the 1 -hour reading.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Classification: not irritating
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study (RCC study number B16086), 0.1 g of Paradimethoxybenzene was instilled into the conjunctival sac of left eye of New Zealand White rabbits (1 male and 2 females). Animals then were observed for 72 hours.
Irritation was scored according to the EU classification criteria.
The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation) for each animal for corneal opacity, iris, redness and chemosis of the conjunctivae, separately.
The individual mean scores for corneal opacity and iris were 0.00 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 0.33, 0.33 and 0.67 for reddening, respectively and 0.00 for chemosis for the three animals.
No abnormal findings were observed in the cornea or iris of any animal at any of the measurement intervals In this study, Paradimethoxybenzene is not an eye irritant based on the EU classification criteria.
