Test system
- Vehicle:
- water
- Controls:
- not required
- Amount / concentration applied:
- The approximate equivalent of 0.1 mL of the test substance was administered per animal into the conjuctival sacs of the right eyes.
The weighed amounts of the individual doses were 97.89 and 95 mg. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- single treatment
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Both eyes of the animals were examined within 24 hours before instillation and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours p.a.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 females
- Details on study design:
- The approximate equivalent of 0.1 mL of the test substance was administered per animal into the conjunctival sacs of the right eyes by gently pulling the lower lids away from the eyeballs for instillation. The eyes were held closed for about one second to prevent loss of test substance.
The left eyes remained untreated and served as a control.
Firstly, the test substance was administered to one animal. As no evidence for a serious damage to the eye of this animal was found during the initial 72-hour observation period (no corrosive effect), the test substance was administered to the other two animals subsequently.
Both eyes of the animals were examined within 24 hours before the instillation and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours p.a.
Additional examinations were performed 6 days after the instillation.
The whole eyes, especially the corneae, the irises and the conjunctivae were examined using an otoscope lamp. Eye irritation was scored and recorded according to the method of Draize (see in box "Any other information on materials & methods incl. tables")

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In this study, the test substance succinimide is not irritating to the eyes. All observed effects on conjunctivae redness and chemosis were reversible within 6 days.
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study conducted according to OECD guideline 405, 0.1 mL of succinimide was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 female New Zealand White rabbits. Animals then were observed of 6 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Irritant effects on cornea and iris were not observed at any observation point in any animal. Conjunctivae redness is observed in all animals as well as some injected blood vessels were observed from 1 h onwards until 72 h p.a. Very slight swelling was seen in all animals from 1 h onwards until a maximum of 24 h p.a. All effects were fully reversible within 6 days.
In this study, succinimide is not an eye irritant according to CLP criteria.
