Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The eye irritation potential of the test item was determined in a study equivalent to OECD guideline 405. Severe eye damaging effects were observed on one animal.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test item was determined in a study equivalent to OECD guideline 405. An amount of 1/10 mL of the test substance was applied undiluted to the eye of one rabbit. The other eye served as control eye. The eyes are not washed following instillation. The eye are examined at 24, 48, 72 hours, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days after instillation. The following results were determined (mean value 24, 48 and 72 h):

Scores of the animal examined

Cornea: 2 -3

Iris: 1

Conjunctivae: 3

Chemosis: 3

The effects were not reversible after 21 days. The test item showed severe eye damaging effects cat .1.
