Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Mildly irritant
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for acute eye irritation potential in 1 young adult New Zealand White rabbit. A skin irritation study was previously conducted. The test substance was not a severe skin irritant or corrosive to the skin.

One rabbit was initially treated. Since severe irritation was observed, no further rabbits were treated. Approximately 59 mg (a weight equal to a 0.1 mL volume) of test substance was administered to 1 eye of the animal. The treated and control eye remained unwashed following treatment. The conjunctiva, iris, and cornea of the treated eye were evaluated and scored according to a numerical scale approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days following administration of the test substance.

Corneal opacity (score of 2), iritis (score of 1), conjunctival redness (score of 1, 2, or 3), conjunctival chemosis (score of 1, 2, or 3), and discharge (score of 2) were observed in the treated rabbit eye. Fluorescein stain examination of the treated eye was positive for corneal injury at 24 hours after instillation of the test substance. The treated eye of the rabbit was normal by 7 days after instillation.

No clinical signs of toxicity were observed, and no body weight loss occurred in the rabbit. Mean values were calculated for the animal by using numerical scores obtained from the quantitative evaluation of each ocular response observed approximately 24, 48, and 72 hours following treatment.

These values are as follows:

Corneal opacity: 0.67

Iritis: 1

Conjunctival redness: 2.67

Conjunctival chemosis: 1.33
