Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Kleintierfarm Madoerin AG
- Age at study initiation: ca. 14-15 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2.9-2.5 kg
- Housing: individually
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted standard Kliba 341, batch 34/88 rabbit maintenance diet, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 4 days under laboratory conditions after veterinary examination


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 +/- 3
- Humidity (%): 40-70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12


Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated eye of each animal (the right eye) served as the control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The test material was instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal. The upper and lower lids were gently held together for approximately 1 second to prevent loss of the material. The right eye remained untreated and served as the reference control.
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes of each animal were examined 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration. The irritation was assessed according to the OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals, section 4, number 405 "Acute eye irritation/corrosion" adopted February 24, 1987.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males, 3 females
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctivae redness, and chemosis scores for MRD-91-972 were all 0. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/548/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

C9-C11, cyclic aliphatics was administered to the left eye of three male and three female rabbits to assess for ocular irritation. Ocular examinations occurred at 1h, 24h, 48h, 72h. Ocular damage was assessed and scored according to the Draize eye test. All animals survived the exposure. The mean corneal opacity, iris lesion, conjunctivae redness, and chemosis scores for C9-C11, cyclic aliphatics were 0, 0, 0, and 0 respectively. Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/548/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
