Any other information on results incl. tables

No necropsy was performed in the animals euthanized at termination of observation. No acute clinical symptoms were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occured. The body weight gain of all rabbits was similar.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not eye irritant
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to OECD guideline 405 and EU Method B.5, in three New Zealand rabbits (1 male, 2 females).

0.1 g of the test substance (60% act. integr.) was placed in the left eye of each animal and the lids were gently held together for about one second. The eyes of each animal were exmamined for ocula irritation 1, 24, 48, 72 hours, 7, 14 and 21 days after administration.

No necropsy was performed in the animals euthanized at termination of observation. No acute clinical symptoms were observed in the animals during the test and observation period, and no mortality occured. The body weight gain of all rabbits was similar. The mean scores (over time points 24 h, 48 h, 72 h) for animal 1 were determined to be 0.0 for cornea, 0.0 for iris, 1.0 for conjunctivae redness and 0.0 for chemosis. For animal 2, the mean scores were 0.33 for cornea, 0.0 for iris, 1.0 for conjunctiva redness and 0.33 for chemosis. For animal 3, the mean scores were 0.0 for cornea, 0.0 for iris, 1.0 for conjunctiva redness and 1.0 for chemosis. The observed effects were fully reversible within the 21 -day observation period.
