Irritant / corrosive response data:
There were no corneal effects. Slight iritis was seen in all animals for up to 3 days. Conjunctival effects were seen in all animals and consisted of slight or moderate redness for 3 days, slight or mild chemosis for up to 2 days and a slight or moderate discharge for up to 1 day. Additional signs of irritation comprised lachrymatory or mucoid discharge and dried secretion around the periorbital skin. One animal was holding its dosed eye closed approximately 1 hour after application, which may be indicative of pain. All signs of irritation had completely resolved 4 days after application.
Other effects:
There were no signs of ill-health in any animal during the study.
Application into the eye caused practically no or slight initial pain (class 1 - 2 on a 0 - 5 scale).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered to be slightly irritating to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant eye irritation study, performed according to OECD guideline 405, the test substance (100 mg) was applied into one eye of three New Zealand White rabbits. An assessment of initial pain was made and the eyes were examined for 4 days to assess the grade of ocular reaction. Application into the eye caused practically no or slight initial pain (class 1 - 2 on a 0 - 5 scale). There were no corneal effects. Slight iritis was seen in all animals for up to 3 days. Conjunctivae effects were seen in all animals and consisted of slight or moderate redness for 3 days, slight or mild chemosis for up to 2 days and a slight or moderate discharge for up to 1 day. Additional signs of irritation comprised lachrymatory or mucoid discharge and dried secretion around the periorbital skin. One animal was holding its dosed eye closed approximately 1 hour after application, which may be indicative of pain. All signs of irritation had completely resolved 4 days after application. Under the conditions of this experiment, the test substance was found to be slightly irritating. All observed effects were non-classifiable.
