Irritant / corrosive response data:
Initial Pain: Following application of 100mg of the test sample into the rabbit eye practically no initial pain reaction was seen in one animal and slight initial pain reactions were seen in the remaining animals (classes 1 and 2 on a 0-5 scale). One animal was holding its eye closed, as if in pain, 1-2 hours after application.

Irrigated Eyes: Approximately half the test sample was displaced from the conjunctival sac of one animal shortly after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the substance was severe irritating to rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the eye irritation potential of the test substance according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 405, in compliance with GLP. Six female rabbits were used for the study. 100 mg of test substance were loaded into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animals. Three animals were washed out with warm water after 1 minute of exposure to the test substance. One animal among the three of the washout group died after 24 h, however it was concluded that the death was not due to the test substance. In non-washout animals, up to at least 3 d after application, corneal opacity could not be assessed due to staining. In the two animals in which it was subsequently possible to assess, no signs of corneal opacity were seen. Iritis could not be assessed for up to 1 d after application in two of the animals. After this period, slight iritis was seen on Day 1 in one animal only. No iritis was seen in either of the other animals during the study. Due to staining, however, iritis could not be assessed in one of the animals until the third reading. Additional observations included corneal, iridial and conjunctival staining by the test sample, which persisted to the end of the study (21 days after application), dried secretion on the periorbital skin and three animals holding their eye closed 1-2 h after application. Due to the irreversible coloration of cornea, the test substance was considered to be a severe irritant (Pemberton, 1987).
