Irritant / corrosive response data:
All of the animals had slight opacity over approximately 50% of the cornea 24 hours after dosing, which had cleared by 48 hours. At 24 hours the opaque areas retained dye. Conjunctival redness, observed in all animals 24 hours after dosing, had subsided by 72 hours, when all scores were 0. At Day 4 and Day 7 all scores were 0, and the eyes did not retain fluorescein dye.
The primary ocular irritation score was 19.7 at 24 hours, 2.3 at 48 hours and 0 at 72 hours, day 4 and day 7.
Other effects:
All animals remained healthy and showed normal behaviour throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
in accordance with EU CLP (EC no 1272/2008 and its amendments)
Conclusions:
The test substance is not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

Eye irritating properties of test substance were studied in a pre-GLP study with rabbits, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD TG 405. A single instillation of 0.1 mL undiluted test substance into the eyes of 6 rabbits resulted in mean scores of 0.3, 0.1, 1.1 and 0.3 for cornea, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis, respectively, over 24, 48 and 72 hours. All effects were fully reversible within 72 hours. Based on these results, the test substance was concluded to be non-irritating to rabbit eyes.
