Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Minimal conjunctival redness (score 1) was noted in all treated animals 1 hour after treatment
- All treated eyes appeared normal after 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment
- No conreal or iridial effects were noted during the study
- Maximum group mean score was 2.0; leading to classification as Non-irritating (class 1 on a scale from 1 to 8, according to modified Kay and Calandra classification system)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was not irritant to rabbit eye under the conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, according to OECD Guideline No.405, 0.1 mL of undiluted 2,2-bis(chloromethyl)trimethylene bis(bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphate) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 3 New Zealand white rabbits (1 female, 2 male rabbits used). Animals then were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize, scale for scoring ocular irritation. The test material was not irritant to rabbit eye under the conditions of this study.
