Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 30 g per animal

Duration of treatment / exposure:
eyes were not rinsed
Observation period (in vivo):
15 days

Observations were performed immediatly after instillation of the test substance, and approximatly 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 and 15 days after instillation of the test substance.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 females
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: none

SCORING SYSTEM:
Grades of ocular lesions: Cornea

Degree of Opacity 0 – 4 (0 = no finding, 1 = slight, disperse, diffuse opacity, 2 = extensive, diffuse opacity, iris blurred, 3 = nacreous areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil hardly discernible, 4 = opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity)

Iris 0 – 2 (0 = no finding, 1 = swelling, reddening, positive light reaction, 2 = severe reddening and swelling, no light reaction)

Conjunctivae

Redness 0 – 3 (0 = blood vessels normal, 1 = vessels abnormally filled, 2 = diffuse reddening, 3 = diffuse deep reddening)

Chemosis 0 – 4 (0 = no swelling, 1 = slight swelling,  2 =severe swelling, lids everted, 3 = lids cover one half of eye, 4 = lids cover more than half eye, necroses and ulcers on the conjunctivas)

Directly after instillation, 1 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 d, 15 d

Approximately 24 hours after instillation of the test substance (immediately after scoring the cornea/opacity), a solution of 2% fluorescein in water was applied to both eyes of each animal to examine quantitatively the potential for corneal injury. The brightly green staining area indicating epithelial damage was estimated as a percentage of the total corneal area. Any observed local effects were noted.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The summarized results can be found in Table 1 and Attachment 1 in the attached background material
Other effects:
To calculate the mean, the scores from time points 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of the test substance were used. The other observation points were ignored or used only to assess the reversibility of the effects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The study is in accordance with EPA OPP 81-4 (Acute Eye Irritation) and GLP. Under the conditions chosen, instillation of the test substance into the eyes of 6 female rabbits elicited a positive response. According to the classification criteria of the CLP Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008, classification for eye Irritation Category 2 (H319) is warranted.
