Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: contralateral eye was not treated
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL test material, 100% w/w%
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
0.1 mL of the experimental material was instilled into the right eyes of the test animals while the other eyes remained untreated to severe as controls. The treated eyes were examined at one, two, three, four and seven days following instillation of the test materials into the eyes.

Evaluation : Interpretation of the results was made in accordance with the Draize Scale of Scoring Ocular Lesions.

Note: Under the DSD, CLP, and GHS, classification is based on the time points 24, 48, 72 hours AFTER the test material exposure has ended. In this experiment, the observation time points that correlate to these time points are 48 h (Day 2), 72 h (Day 3), and 96 h (Day 4).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The average erythema and edema score used for classification was calculated to be 0.57. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/548/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

0.1 mL of the experimental material was instilled into the right eyes of the test animals while the other eyes remained untreated to severe as controls. The treated eyes were examined at one, two, three, four and seven days following instillation of the test materials into the eyes.

The average erythema and edema score used for classification was calculated to be 0.57. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/548/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
