Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study, exposure of the test material to the eyes of rabbits did not cause any occular lesions. The test material is not classified as irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study, 4 male and 5 female New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to test material diesel fuel (marketplace sample). A dose of 0.1 mL of undiluted test material was placed on the everted lower lid of the right eye of each rabbit within the group. The test eyes of three rabbits, two females and one male, were flushed for one minute with distilled warm water starting 30 seconds after application of the test material. The test eyes of the remaining 6 rabbits were unwashed. The untreated left eye of each rabbit served as a control. Occular lesions were scored at 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment. Fluorescein dye evaluation was used for the 24 hour reading. Scoring was done in accordance with the Draize technique.

No signs of ocular lesions were present. All rabbits scored zero on every point at each observation. The test material is not classified as irritating to the eye.

This study received a Klimisch score of 1. It is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted according to or similar to guideline study OECD 405.
