Other effects:
Unleaded motor gasoline (API PS-6) was also instilled into the eyes of 3 rabbits, which were rinsed 20-30 seconds after dosing. This method is not in compliance with OECD TG 405 and is not appropriate for classification purposes. The overall irritation score was approximately 0.0 (max score out of 110 possible). The mean (24, 48, and 72 hr average) conjunctivae redness, chemosis, corneal opacity, and iris lesion scores were 0.0, 0.0, 0, and 0, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctivae redness, and chemosis scores were 0, 0, 0.0, and 0.0, respectively. These findings do not warrant classification of unleaded motor gasoline (API PS-6) as an ocular irritant under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
Executive summary:

Unleaded motor gasoline (API PS-6) was administered to one eye of six male New Zealand White rabbits to assess for ocular irritation. Observations were made at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. Ocular damage was assessed and scored according to the Draize eye test.Ocular irritation was not observed after treatment and the overall irritation score was 0.0. The mean corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctivae redness, and chemosis scores were 0, 0, 0.0, and 0.0, respectively. These findings do not warrant classification of unleaded motor gasoline (API PS-6) as an ocular irritant under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
