Irritant / corrosive response data:
The individual results of the eye irritation test after 24, 48 and 72 h are listed in Table 1. In general, rinsing of the eye following instillation was of low or no effect (see Table 1 under "Any other information on results incl. tables").
Cornea: After 4 days scattered or diffuse area in 3/6 animals and easily discernible translucent areas 3/3 animals were observed. After 7 days 2/6 animals showed scattered or diffuse area and 4/6 animals showed easily discernible translucent areas.
Iris: After 4 days 1/6 animals and after 7 days 2/6 animals (all from the group without rinsing) showed folds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcornea injection (any or all of these or combination of any thereof) iris still reacting to light.
Conjunctivae:Redness: All animals showed diffuse beefy redness after 4 and 7 days. After 4 days obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids was observed in 4/6 animals and swelling with lids about half closed in 2/6 animals (group without rinsing). After 7 days in all animals obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids was still apparent.
Discharge: After 4 days, discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids was observed in 4/6 animals, discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye was observed in 1 animal of the group without rinsing. In 1 animal (rinsing group) only slight discharge was observed. After 7 days, 2/6 animals showed slight discharge, and 3/6 animals still moderate and 1 animal (without rinsing group) discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
In the present study irreversible effects within a shorter observation period were observed in all animals. Classification as Category 1 was based on an expert judgement considering a worst case assumption.
CLP: Cat. 1, H318
