Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained with one animal, the test item is classified as ‘R36 Irritating to eyes’ according to Directive 67/548/EEC and as ‘Irritating to eye (Category 2)’ according to CLP Regulation (EC) n° 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted similarly to OECD guideline 405, one healthy male rabbit of the New Zealand White strain was exposed to 100 µL of undiluted test item in one of the eyes. The eyes were assessed for conjunctival responses 15 min after treatment and corneal, conjunctival and iridial responses were observed at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 days after treatment.

 

Instillation of the test item resulted in loss of small area of corneal epithelium with slight corneal swelling, slight iritis and moderate conjunctivitis with copious discharge. The irritation completely resolved within 6 days. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure for the animal were 1 for corneal score, 0.33 for iris score, 1.33 for conjunctivae score and 1 for chemosis score.

 

Based on the results obtained with one animal, the test item is classified as ‘R36 Irritating to eyes’ according to Directive 67/548/EEC and as ‘Irritating to eye (Category 2)’ according to CLP Regulation (EC) n° 1272/2008.
