- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The test item showed severe irritating effects in this test. The effects on conjunctiva (chemosis and redness) and on iris were found to be reversible within 21 days after treatment. The cornea opacity incl. vascularization observed in one animal persisted in one animal until the end of the observation period and was therefore not reversible.
- Other effects:
- Strong clear or slimy secretion was noted in the treated eyes of all animals up to 72 hours after application. The animal with irreversible opacity of thecornea showed also vascularization from day 7 until the end of the observation period of 21 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test item is severely irritating and caused irreversible effects on the cornea. Therefore, it has to be classified as Category 1 eye-irritant.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed in 1983 under GLP according to OECD 405. Three albino rabbits were treated; 0.1 ml test item was applied into the conjunctival sac of the eye. Observation times were 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment .
The test item showed severe irritating effects in this test. The effects on conjunctiva (chemosis and redness) and on iris were found to be reversible within 21 days after treatment. The cornea opacity incl. vascularization observed in one animal persisted in one animal until the end of the observation period and was therefore not reversible. In conclusion, MAA needs to be classified as Category 1 eye-irritant.
