SCORING SYSTEM: Draize Scale for Scoring Ocular Irritation

1. CONJUNCTIVAE
(A) Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris)
Vessels normal 0
Vessels definitely injected above normal 1
More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible 2
Diffuse beefy red 3

(B) Chemosis
No swelling 0
Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane) 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids 2
Swelling with lids about half closed 3
Swelling with lids half closed to completely closed 4

(C) Discharge
No discharge 0
Any amount different from normal (does not include small
amounts observed in inner canthus of normal animals) 1
Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids 2
Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs a
considerable area around the eye 3
THE TOTAL SCORE = (A + B + C) x 2 MAXIMUM TOTAL = 20


2. IRIS
(D) Values
Normal 0
Folds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcorneal injection
(any or all of these or combination of any thereof) iris still reacting
to light (sluggish reaction is positive) 1
No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these) 2
THE TOTAL SCORE = D x 5 MAXIMUM TOTAL = 10

3. CORNEA
(E) Degree of Opacity (most dense area used)
No opacity 0
Scattered or diffuse areas, details of iris clearly visible 1
Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured 2
Opalescent areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible 3
Opaque, iris not discernible through the opacity 4

(F) Area of Cornea Involved
One quarter (or less) but not zero 1
Greater than one quarter but less than half 2
Greater than half but less than three quarters 3
Greater than three quarters, up to whole area 4
THE TOTAL SCORE = (E x F) x 5 MAXIMUM TOTAL = 80

MAXIMUM TOTAL SCORE POSSIBLE = 110


The 24h examination was performed under ultra-violet light following treatment with Sodium Fluorescein BP

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight redness of the conjunctivae was noted in all animals at the 1h- and 24h- reading.
Slight chemosis was also noted in all animals at the 1h-reading in all animals and slight discharge was noted at the same observation period in two animals.
All reactions were fully reversible and the animals were clean after 48 hours.

The body weight of the animals were within the range for animals of this strain and age.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not considered to be irritant for eye according the GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

An in vivo eye irritation study was conducted with three male adult New Zealand rabbits according to OECD guideline 405.

0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled in the left eye of each animal and the animals were scored approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation.

After single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of the three rabbits only minimal conjunctival irritation was noted. This included conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation.

The test item is not considered to be irritant for the eyes according to GHS criteria.
