Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Redness and chemosis were observed in 3 animals each 1 h after exposure to Indigofera ticntoria leaf powder(DA 060492) .
No alterations of cornea and iris were observed at this time-point, but scoring at later timepoints revealed corneal opacity in 2 animals. Redness and chemosis remained for several hours, and aggravated occasionally. Additional scoring after 6 and 8 days revealed no corneal opacity, but conjunctival redness and chemosis remained for 6 days in one animal.
