Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
not applicable
Principles of method if other than guideline:
One tenth of a milliliter of the test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 3 albino rabbits. The test material was allowed to fall on the everted lower lid of each animal and the upper and lower lids were then gently held together for one second to prevent loss of the test material. All treated eyes remained unwashed.
The evaluations were performed at 1, 24, etc hours for a period of 7 days. A 2% instillation of fluorescin was made on each animal at least once during the course of the experimental period.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Redness: All three animals exhibited conjunctival redness with a score of 2 on the Draize scale 1 hour after test material instillation. By the 24 hour observation the score was reduced to 1 for all animals with effects fully reversed by the 48-hour observation.
Minor conjunctival discharge was observed in 2 animals at the 1 hour observation, this was fully reversed in one animal by the 24 hour observation and in the remaining animal at the 48-hour observation.
One animal exhibited minor conjunctival chemosis at the 1-hour observation. This was fully reversed by the 24-hour observation. No other effects on eyes were noted during the course of the study.
Other effects:
No data

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not an irritant to the eyes of rabbit under the conditions of the study. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act.

Method

A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three rabbits, formed by gently pulling the lower li d away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The eyes were left unwashed and observations were perfomed one hour after installation and then daily for a period of 7 days. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to the numerical evaluation (Draize, J.H, 1977).

Results

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation.

Conclusion

The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.
