Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Only 50 µL instilled, only 2 animals used, observation period only 8 days.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
50 µL of the test substance were applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye in 2 animals. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 h on the day of treatment and up to 8 days afterwards. Findings were recorded daily. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405. The report describes findings after 1 and 24 hours and at the end of the observation period. For final evaluation, the findings after 48 and 72 hours from the raw data were taken into account.
GLP compliance:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
After exposure times of 25, 48 and 72 h the application of the test material caused slight reversible erythema to the eyes of the exposed animals.
At the end of the observation period of 8 days all effects were reversible.
