Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single treatment.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48 and 72-hours.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Nine animals were inclued at the start of the study, however 1 animal died following exposure. This was attributed to a chest infection rather than treatment-related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material was found to be slightly irritating to the eyes of rabbits under the conditions of this study. No effects were observed on the cornea or iris, however slight conjunctival effects were observed, which were fully reversible.
Executive summary:

In an in vivo eye corrosion/irritation study New Zealand White rabbits (8 animals) were exposed to the undiluted substance (single treatment) followed by observations at 1 -, 24 -, 48- and 72 -hours. The results of the study indicate that the substance is a non-irritant to the eye.
