REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): approx. 50 mL tepid tap water, using a velocity of flow which did not affect the eye, to remove any visible residual test substance.

-Toxicity: At least once daily.
-Body Weight: Day of treatment (prior to instillation) and after the final observation.
-Necropsy: No necropsy was performed according to protocol.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Irritation:
Instillation of approximately 41 mg of the test substance (a volume of approximately 0.1 mL) into one eye of each of three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation had completely resolved within 72 hours in all animals.
No iridial irritation or corneal opacity were observed, and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage.

Corrosion:
There was no evidence of ocular corrosion.

Other effects:

Remnants of the test substance were present in the eye of one animal on Day 1.
No staining of (peri) ocular tissues by the test substance was observed and no test substance remnants were seen in the eyes of the other two animals.
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Additional information

Skin irritation:

One study is available which was conducted according to OECD Guideline 404 under GLP (Latour, 2014). The test substance is not irritating to rabbit skin with a 4-hour semi-occlusive application.

Eye irritation:

One study is available which was conducted according to OECD Guideline 405 under GLP (Latour, 2014). The test substance is slightly irritating to rabbit eyes.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Study run to a method comparable with current guidelines and to GLP

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Study run to a method comparable with current guidelines and to GLP

Effects on eye irritation: slightly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation/corrosion: Mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours for erythema were < 2.3 (actual value 0) and for edema were < 2.3 (actual value 0).

Serious eye damage/eye irritation: Mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours for corneal opacity were < 1 (actual value 0), for iris were < 1 (actual value 0), for conjunctival redness were < 2 (actual value ca.0.67) and for chemosis were < 1 (actual value 0).

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.2.2 & 3.3.2, this substance should not be classified for skin irritation/corrosion and serious eye damage/eye irritation endpoints.
