SCORING SYSTEM:
Cornea
A Opacity-degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
0 No opacity
1 Scattered or diffuse area, details of iris clearly visible
2 Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured
3 Opalescent areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 Opaque, iris invisible

B Area of cornea involved
1 One quarter (or less) but not zero
2 Greater than one quarter, but less than half
3 Greater than half, but less than three quarters
4 Greater than three quarters, up to whole area

Iris
0 Normal
1 Folds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcorneal injection (any or all of these or combination of any thereof) iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive)
2 No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these)

Conjunctivae
A Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris)
0 Vessels normal
1 Vessels definitely injected above normal
2 More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 Diffuee beefy red

B Chemosis
0 No swelling
1 Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane)
2 Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids
3 Swelling with lids about half closed
4 Swelling with lids about half closed to completely closed

C Discharge
0 No discharge
1 Any amount different from normal
2 Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids
3 Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritant according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
No irritant to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

Method

Eye irritation study in 6 rabbits. 100 mg of test substance were instilled in one eye, while the other served as control. After 30 seconds, test substance was flushed out of the eye of 3/6 rabbits. Scoring for corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctivae redness and chemosis was done 1, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h and 6 d after instillation.

Results

No effects on cornea and iris were noted in both rinsed and unrinsed eye. Chemosis was noted in 1/3 rabbits with rinsed eye and in 3/3 rabbit with unrinsed eye up to 24 h; then no effects were recorded. Conjunctivae redness was noted in 5/6 rabbits, but it was completely reversible within day 6.
