Irritant / corrosive response data:
No signs of irritation were observed at the cornea or iris. One hour and 24 hours after treatment, the conjunctivae showed redness (score 1). Furthermore, discharge (score 1) was seen at the first reading. Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. The untreated eyes were unchanged.
Other effects:
none

Any other information on results incl. tables

Study design

The test material was tested for its eye irritating properties. Prior to testing, the hen's egg test on the chorioallantoic membrane was performed and no irritating potential could be detected. The test for primary eye irritation was started as an initial test with one animal and followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals. For the test of primary eye irritation, 0.1 g of the test material was applied into the conjunctival sac of rabbits. The first examination of the eyes followed 1 hour after instillation. The other examinations of the eyes were performed daily for further 7 days.


Results

No signs of irritation were observed at the cornea or iris. One hour and 24 hours after treatment, the conjunctivae showed redness (score 1). Furthermore, discharge (score 1) was seen at the first reading. Thereafter, no signs of irritation were observed. The untreated eyes were unchanged.


Conclusion

According to the EEC-Directive 2001/59 the test material should not be regarded as an irritant to the eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to these results, for regulatory purposes the test material has to be classified as non-irritant for the eyes.
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to OECD 405 under GLP conditions. According to these results, for regulatory purposes the test material has to be classified as non-irritant for the eyes.
