- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ssniff K-H V2333 (ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, 59494 Soest, Germany), ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 +/- 3°C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES:
From: 07.11. To: 07.12.2016

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.125 mL
- Concentration (if solution): 80 %
Due to the water content of the test item of 20% a correction factor of 1.25 was used.

VEHICLE
no vehicle utilised
Duration of treatment / exposure:
No washing of the eye after application of test substance performed
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically with a slit lamp prior to the administra-tion and 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7, 14 and 21 days after the administration.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): none
- Time after start of exposure: n.a.

SCORING SYSTEM:
According to Draize scale

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
One day before and 24 hours after administration, fluorescein was applied to the eyes before being examined to aid evaluation of the cornea for possible lesions. The fluorescein test was repeated on each day of observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to EC Regualtion 1272/2008 the test item is non-irritating to the eye. Classification and labelling are not necessary.
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested for its eye irritant potential in rabbit eyes according to OEC 405.

Under the present test conditions, a single instillation of 0.125 mL test item into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of 3 rabbits caused the following changes: Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in all animals 1 hour after administration.

The corneae and the irises were not affected by administration of the test item.

There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
