Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg pasted with 1 drop physiological saline solution
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
The test item was applied to the left eye of each rabbit. The contra-lateral eye served as intra-individual control. Evaluation 1, 7, 24, 48, and 72 hours after test item application by means of a magnifying lens. After 24 hours the eyes were rinsed with physiological saline solution. At 48 and 72 hours evaluation, fluorescein staining was used to verify the absence of corneal lesions.

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is determined to be not irritating to rabbit eye. Classification according to EC: not irritating
Executive summary:

Acute eye irritation/corrosion study in the rabbits was performed following procedure mentioned in Federal Register 38, No.178. Six rabbits were treated with the test substance for 24 h and observation upto 72 h.The test item was applied to the left eye of each rabbit. The contra-lateral eye served as intra-individual control. Evaluation 1, 7, 24, 48, and 72 hours after test item application by means of a magnifying lens. After 24 hours the eyes were rinsed with physiological saline solution. At 48 and 72 hours evaluation, fluorescein staining was used to verify the absence of corneal lesions.

Maximum mean total score (MMTS) after 72 h was observed to be 1 on a scale of 110.

Based on the score, the test substance is determined to be not irritating to rabbit eye.
