- Humidity (%): 30-70 %
- Air changes (per hr): not given
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
72 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
time points were 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 (1 male, 2 female)
Details on study design:
PROCEDURE
Single application to the conjunctival sac of the right eyelid; the substance ist not washed out.

SCORING SYSTEM:
Chemosis and Cornea (Opacity degree of Density):
0 = None
1 = Slight
2 = Well-defined
3 = Severe
4 = Very severe

Conjunctivae redness:
0 = normal
1 = slight
2 = well-defined
3 = severe

Iris:
0 = normal
1 = circum corneal injection
2 = iritis

Calculation of the mean according to 83/467/ECC Criteria of July 29th, 1983 ( For calculation of the means of opacity, iris, redness and swelling only the reading of 24, 48 and 72 hours are used.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The substance had no effects on the cornea and the iris. Well-defined effects on the conjunctiva (Redness) 1 and 24 h after the application were fully reversivble within 72h after the treatment in all but one animal (female) The maximum score did not exceed 2. Well-defined effects on the conjunctiva (Chemosis) 1 hour after the application were fully reversivble within 48 h after the treatment. The mean score at 24 h was 1.0.
Other effects:
No other symptoms were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study Silicophosponate is not irritating to rabbit eyes. Well-defined effects on the conjuntiva were reversible. According to guidelines for classification, the substance is not irritating.
Executive summary:

The primary irritation potential of Silicophosphonat on the eyes of Vienna white rabbits was examined in this study. Under the conditions of this study, Silicophosphonat is considered not irritating to rabbit eyes. Conjuctival effects were reversible and did not exceed values corresponding to an irritating potential.
