Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
All scores were recorded as zero and thus the test chemical was considered as not irritating to the eyes of albino rabbits.
Executive summary:

An ocular irritation test was conducted on 9 albino rabbits to assess the eye irritation potential of test chemical.

 

About 0.1ml of undiluted test chemical was installed into one eye of each of 9 albino rabbits. Six eyes were non-irrigated and three were irrigated with 20 ml of water after 2 seconds of exposure.

 

Each eye was evaluated after 1,2, 3,48, 72, and 96 hours and 7 days. Scoring was based on the Draize scale of 0 (no irritation) to 110 (maximum irritation).

 

All scores were recorded as zeroand thus the test chemical was considered as not irritating to the eyes of albino rabbits.
