Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM: OECD 405 / Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to Draize J. H. (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.48 to 49. Using the numerical data obtained a modified version of the system described by Kay J. H. and Calandra J. C. (1962), J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 13, 281-289 was used to classify the ocular irritancy potential of the test material.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were noted. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in one treated eye and minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in two treated eyes one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in all treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation.
Other effects:
All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
