Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Based on the findings in this test, the test substance is not eye irritating.
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested for eye irritating properties according to OECD 405. Following this protocol 100 mg of the undiluted test substance were applied into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 3 rabbits. The right eye remained untreated and served as control. 24 h after instillation eyes were rinsed with physiol. saline. The eyes of the animals were examined at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after substance application. Mean scores (mean of 24, 48, 72 h) were calculated for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness, and conjunctivae chemosis for each animal.

Mean scores for all irritation parameters were below threshold values and were fully reversible within 72 h.

Based on the findings in this test, the test substance is not eye irritating.
