Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Zinc phosphate is not irritating in an vivo rabbit study.
Executive summary:

In a well-performed eye irritation study, conducted according to Directive 92/69/EEC B.5 and OECD guideline 405, 100 mg of zinc phosphate was administered into the conjuctival sac of the left eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. The right eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes (unrinsed) were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration.Very slight irritation of the conjuctivae (grade 1) was seen as redness (mean scores over 24-72 hours 0, 0.7 and 0.3) and chemosis (mean scores 0, 0.3 and 0.3), which persisted up to 48 hours at the latest. No conjunctival discharge and no iris and corneal lesions were observed.
