- Controls:
- other: the opposite eye served as control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- one-tenth milliliter

- Details on study design:
- one-tenth milliliter of undiluted test material was placed into the right concunctival sac of each of 2 male albino rabbits.
after 20 seconds 1 treated eye was wached with tap water for 1 minutes. the treated eye of the other rabbbit was not washed.
Observations of the cornea, iris and concunctiva were made with an ophthamoscope at 1 and 4 hours and at 1, 2, 3, 7 and 14 days ;
Fluor-1 -strip stin and a slit-lamp biomicroscope were used at examinations after the day of treatment.

animal 1: not washed-----effects fully reversible within 4 days
cornea: generalized area of slight cloudiness 1hr- 3 days; -----iris: no effects; -----conjunctivae: (1) redness mild 1 hr-3 days, (2) swelling: mild 1-4 hrs, (3) discharge: copious 1-4 hrs
animal 2: eye washed: -cornea: generalised slight cloudiness up to 7 days; penetrating injury 1-7 days, vascularisation in lower parts of cornea at 7 days; -iris: no effect; -conjuctiva; slight redness (day 3), slight swelling (day 3), slight discharge (day3).
Thus, the test material produced temporary slight to mild occular effects with transient copious discharge
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- slightly irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Executive summary:
The test material produced temporary mild to slight occular effects with transient copious discharge: As these effects were fully reversible within the observation period of 14 days the test material was evaluated to be slightly irritating to the eyes of rabbits (DuPont De Nemours 1980), with observations not relevant for classification
