Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test item must not be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405 guideline and in compliance with GLP, 3 New Zealand White female rabbits were exposed to 0.1 mL of test item in one eye while the contralateral eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h following treatment and graded according to the Draize method. Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.


 


It was only recorded slight conjunctivae reactions, similar in the 3 animals and rapidly reversible:a slight enanthema noted 1 hour and 24 hours after the test product instillation associated with a discharge and a slight chemosis only noted 1 hour after the test product instillation.


 


Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 for cornea score; 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 for iris score; 0.3, 0.3, 0.3 for conjunctivae score and 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 for chemosis score.


 


Under the test conditions, test item must not be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272 /2008 and Globally Harmonized System (GHS).



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