Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg

Duration of treatment / exposure:

- Dose administration: Approximately 100 mg of the test substance was applied into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of one rabbit by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup into which the test substance was dropped. The lids were then gently held together for 1-2 seconds after which the animal was released. The other eye was untreated (control eye).

Observation period (in vivo):

Animals were observed up to 7 days post administration

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

One animal initially, followed by a further two animals once the irritation potential was fully assessed in the first animal.

Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Irrigation was not performed

SCORING SYSTEM:
The reactions observed were scored in accordance with the criteria of Draize (1959) and assessed using a modified form of the Kay and Calandra system (1962)

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: To aid scoring, animals were placed in an artificial daylight chamber for each assessment of irritation. In addition, as an aid in the assessment of corneal damage, fluorescing staining was used at all readings from 1 day after application.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The maximum score for each parameter was calculated using the Draize (1959) scoring system as presented in table 1 under the field "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables".

Application into the eye caused practically no initial pain (Class 1 on a 0-5 scale). There were no corneal iridial effects. Conjunctival effects consisted of slight redness in all animals up to 4 days and slight chemosis in two animals approximately 1 hour after application. In addition, one animal had slight erythema of the eyelids approximately 1 hour after application. All signs of irritation had completely resolved within 7 days of application.

Under the conditions of the study, the test material was considered to be mildly irritating to the unrinsed eye according to a modified form of the Kay and Calandra system.

Other effects:

There were no signs of ill-health in any animal during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the test, the test material only elicited slight reactions in any of the animals during the course of the study that meant the test material does not require classification as an eye irritant. The study is considered to be reliable, relevant and adequate for risk assessment and classification and labelling purposes.

Executive summary:

The eye irritation of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 405, EU Method B.5 and EPA OPPTS 870.2400. Approximately 100 mg of test material was applied into one one of each of three rabbits and were assessed for up to 7 days to determine the grade of ocular reaction. There were no iridial effects. Conjunctival effects consisted of slight redness in all animals for up to 4 days and slight chemosis in two animals approximately 1 hour after application. In addition, one animal had slight erythema of the eyelids approximately 1 hour after application. All signs of irritation had completely resolved within 7 days of application.

Under the conditions of the study, the test material was considered to be mildly irritating to the unrinsed eye according to modified form of the Kay and Calandra system. The test material does not require classification for eye irritation in line with Regulation No. 1272/2008.
