Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight, clear fluid was discharged on the fur below the eye of two animals at the 1-hour time point. The animals were recovered from the signs of discharge at the 24-hour time point.
Other effects:
Throughout the study, no deaths occurred and none of the animals were found moribund.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The mean eye irritation score at 24, 48, and 72 hours for corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctival redness and chemosis were all 0 for 3 animals.
Executive summary:

Undiluted test substance was placed in the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of the three female rabbits used in the study. The untreated left eye of each rabbit served as a control for comparison purposes. The treated eye of each rabbit was rinsed with water 24 hours after administration of the test substance and scored for irritation at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-dose. 

 

Slight, clear fluid was discharged on the fur below the eyes of two animals at the 1-hour scoring interval. The rabbits completely recovered from signs of ocular discharge at the 24-hour scoring interval. 

The mean scores for corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctival redness and chemosis were all 0.
