Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridal responses were observed for any animals throughout the observation period.
Other effects:
Animal No. 1, held its head to the side immediately post dose. Moderate discharge was also noted up to 1 hour after instillation of the test material.
Animal Nos. 2 and 3 had slight conjunctiva! redness and slight discharge up to 1 h after instillation of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
This study found that the test substance is not classified as an eye irritant according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

Testing was carried out in accordance with OECD guideline 405 and EEC guidelines, Annex V Methods. The acute eye irritation potential of the test material was investigated in 2 New Zealand White rabbits. No corneal or iridal responses were noted for any of the animals throughout the observation period.

Animal No. 1, held its head to the side immediately post dose. Moderate discharge was also noted up to 1 hour after instillation of the test material.

Animal Nos. 2 and 3 had slight conjunctiva! redness and slight discharge up to 1 h after instillation of the test material.

Under the conditions of the study, intermediate 290437 is practically non-irritant to rabbit eyes.
