Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test material has a classification of Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed similarly to OECD guideline No. 405, 0.1 g of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 6 albino rabbits while the left eye remained untreated and served as control. Test material was not washed from the eyes. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 5 and 7. The reactions in the conjunctivae (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the “Illustrated guide for grading eye irritation by hazardous substances”.

 

The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 2.00 / 2.00 / 2.00 / 2.67 / 2.00 / 2.00 for redness, 3.33 / 4.00 / 1.67 / 2.67 / 2.33 / 2.67 for chemosis, 1.00 / 1.00 / 1.00 / 1.33 / 1.67 / 1.67 for iris lesions and 2.00 / 2.00 / 1.00 / 1.00 / 1.67 / 2.00 for corneal opacity.

Those scores do not allow to classify the substance for serious eye damage (0/6 rabbits show a mean score per animal of ≥ 3 for corneal opacity and 2/6 animals show a mean score per animal of > 1.5 for iritis). Animals showed corneal and conjunctival reactions (redness, chemosis and discharge) which were not fully reversible within 7 days but the observation period was only 7 days instead of 21 days in current in vivo studies and a beginning of recovery was observed and, based on an expert judgment, a full reversion can be expected within an observation period of 21 days. Therefore, based on the effects observed and the measured scores, the substance is a severe eye irritant.

 

Under the test conditions, the test material has a classification of Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).

 

Although some details on test animals and experimental conditions were missing, this study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
