Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The potential of RC9927 to cause damage to the conjunctivae, iris or cornea was assessed in 3 male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits, each subject to single ocular instillation of 0.1 ml of the test material. Ocular reactions were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment according to Draize.
GLP compliance:

Any other information on results incl. tables

A crimson-red appearance to the conjunctiva or slight injection of the conjunctival blood vessels and an ocular discharge, were observed among the rabbits one hour after instillation of RC9927. No other change was apparent. All ocular irritation responses had resolved by the 24-hour examination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The potential of RC9927 to cause damage to the conjunctivae, iris or corneawas assessed in 3 male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits, each subject to single ocular instillation of 0.1 ml of the test material. Ocular reactions were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment according to Draize.

A crimson-red appearance to the conjunctiva or slight injection of the conjunctival blood vessels and an ocular discharge, were

observed among the rabbi ts one hour after instillation of RC9927. No other change was apparent. All ocular irritation responses had resolved by the 24-hour examination.

Under the conditions of this test, RC9927 was not irritating to the eye.
