Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean conjunctivae, chemosis, iris, and cornea scores for the Petrepar 134 (60/40) were 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, and 0.0 respectively. 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:

Petrepar 134 (60/40) (0.1 mL, neat) was administered to the right eye of three rabbits to assess occular irritation. Irritation and toxicity were monitored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-treatment. Irritation was scored according to the Draize methodology. No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was observed. Hyperaemia of blood vessels of the conjuctivae was seen in all animals. Ocular reactions had resolved in all instances by one day after instillation. The mean conjunctivae, chemosis, iris, and cornea scores for the Petrepar 134 (60/40) were 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, and 0.0 respectively. 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.
