Amount applied: 0.1 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Single instillation on Day 1

Observation period (in vivo):

7 days

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3

Details on study design:

STUDY DESIGN
The test material was applied undiluted in 3 animals.

TREATMENT
In accordance with OECD 405 (1981). The test substance is placed in the conjunctival sac of right eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids are then gently held together for about one second. The other eye serves at control.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
-Washing: No

OBSERVATIONS
- Irritation:
The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 24, 48, 72, 96 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test substance.
The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded. The irritation was assessed according to OECD 405 (1981).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Eye irritant Cat 2

Remarks:

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and its amendments.

Conclusions:

In an eye irritation study with three rabbits, performed equivalent to OECD 405 guideline, irritation was observed. Based on the results of this study, the substance is considered an eye irritant.

Executive summary:

The substance was tested in an eye irritation test in three rabbits equivalent to OECD 405 guideline. The substance did not cause effects on cornea or iris. In 2/3 animals conjunctivae score 2 during the first two days meeting the criteria for considering the substance a severe eye irritant. Effects on chemosis are mild. The effects were fully reversible within 7 days. The results show that the substance is considered to be severe irritating to eyes.
