Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after dosing, conjunctival hyperaemia was noted in the treated eye of all 3 rabbits. In 2 animals this was accompanied by conjunctival chemosis and discharge from the treated eye. Twenty-four hours after dosing, discharge was no longer apparent in any animal but hyperaemia and chemosis were noted in all 3 rabbits. Forty-eight hours after dosing, hyperaemia, at a reduced level, was still apparent in all 3 animals whilst conjunctival chemosis was noted in only one rabbit. Seventy-two hours after dosing, the treated eye of 2 animals appeared to be free of all signs of irritation. Observations on the first rabbit, used in the preliminary screen, were discontinued at this time. Slight conjunctival hyperaemia persisted in the treated eye of one animal. Seven days after dosing, the treated eye of this rabbit appeared to be normal. No signs of corneal or iridial irritation were apparent in any animal, at any examination, throughout the study.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed according to the EU B.5 test method, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 3 female New Zealand White Rabbit. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of the test item. The left eye of each rabbit served as control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing under a standard light source. An additional observation was conducted on the last 2 animals to be dosed, 7 days after dosing in order to assess the reversibility of the eye reaction. The reactions in the conjunctiva (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the Draize scale. 

One hour after dosing, conjunctival hyperaemia was noted in the treated eye of all 3 rabbits. In 2 animals this was accompanied by conjunctival chemosis and discharge from the treated eye. Twenty-four hours after dosing, discharge was no longer apparent in any animal but hyperaemia and chemosis were noted in all 3 rabbits. Forty-eight hours after dosing, hyperaemia, at a reduced level, was still apparent in all 3 animals whilst conjunctival chemosis was noted in only one rabbit. Seventy-two hours after dosing, the treated eye of 2 animals appeared to be free of all signs of irritation. Observations on the first rabbit, used in the preliminary screen, were discontinued at this time. Slight conjunctival hyperaemia persisted in the treated eye of one animal. Seven days after dosing, the treated eye of this rabbit appeared to be normal. No signs of corneal or iridial irritation were apparent in any animal, at any examination, throughout the study..

 

The calculated mean score for each individual lesion for each animals within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 1.00 / 1.33 / 1.00 for redness, 0.67 / 1.33 / 0.67 for chemosis and 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00 for discharge, iris and corneal lesions.

 

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
