Results and discussion
In vivo
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- other: Cornea, Iris, Fluorescein, Redness, Chemosis, Discharge
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: 4 days
- Score:
- 0
- Max. score:
- 1
- Reversibility:
- fully reversible within: 4 days
- Remarks on result:
- other: details are reported below
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The tested material was not an eye irritant when tested in rabbits by the method of Draize, as stated in the report. Transient damage to the corneal epithelium however, was observed in 3/6 rabbits as judged by fluorescein staining.
The tested material is considered to be slightly irritating, however it is not classified for this endpoint under CLP.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information under CLP REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
- Conclusions:
- There were no positive scores indicating irritation to the eye. Slight redness, chemosis, and discharge were observed in some animals on some days of the study, but all animals were normal on Day 4. Overall, the data indicate that the substance is not irritating to the eye.
- Executive summary:
An eye irritation study in rabbits was conducted to evaluate the potential of the substance to cause irritation to the eye. Following instillation of 0.1 mL of the undiluted substance into the eye, the only effects observed were slight redness, chemosis, and discharge in a few animals on some days of the study, with all animals showing scores of "0" by Day 4. There were no positive scores for these parameters, nor for readings of the cornea or iris. Fluorescein staining indicated transient damage to the corneal epithelium. Based on these results, the substance is considered not to be an irritant to the eye.
