Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this test the test substance is considered to be "not irritant" to the rabbit eye.

Executive summary:

The acute eye irritating potential of the test item was investigated in three New Zealand White rabbits. The test item was applied by instillation of 100 mg of the undiluted test substance into the left eye of each of three rabbits. Irritation effects were scored approximately 1h, 24 h, 48 h and 72h after test item instillation. 24 hours after instillation the eyes were rinsed with warm physiological saline solution.

The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24h, 48h and 72h after instillation) for each animal. The individual mean scores for corneal opacity and changes of the iris were 0.00 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 0.33, 0.00 and 0.66 for reddening and 0.00 for chemosis for all three animals. Based on the results of this test the test substance has not to be classified.
