Other effects / acceptance of results:
OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: No observations (e.g. tissue peeling, residual test chemical, non-uniform opacity patterns) were seen in a visually inspection of the corneas after treatment.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 0.1 and, thus, within three standard deviations of the current historical mean of the negative control (IVIS: -1.4 – 3.2).
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: After treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 112.1 and, thus, also within two standard deviations of the current historical mean of the positive control (IVIS: 80.9 – 133.0).

Therefore, the study fulfilled the acceptance criteria.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other:
Remarks:
The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test item was 13.3 and, thus higher than 3 and lower than 55, i.e. according to OECD 437 no prediction can be made regarding the eye hazard potential of the test item.
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present study, the eye hazard potential of the test item cannot be predicted.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 437. The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test item was 13.3 and, thus higher than 3 and lower than 55, i.e. according to OECD 437 no prediction can be made regarding the eye hazard potential of the test item.
