Materials and methods

Test guidelineopen allclose all
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
not applicable
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.5 (Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Before OECD Guideline 405 was first adopted in 1981, eye irritation was tested using a BASF test.
The methods were based on Draize (Federal Register 38, No. 187, § 1500.42, p. 27019 (1973-09-27)).
GLP compliance:
no

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctival redness was the main test substance-related finding noted in 5/6 rabbits with mean scores (24/48/72 hours) ranging from 0.67 to 1.33. In 1/6 animals chemosis was observed after 24 hours resulting in a mean chemosis score of 0.67 for this rabbit. In 2/6 rabbits a very slight corneal opacity was noted at the 72-hours reading resulting in a mean score (24/48/72 hours) of 0.33 for each of the two rabbits. Reversibility was not assessed in this study (no 8-day observation reported); however there was a general trend towards reversibility within the 72-hour observation period.

The primary irritation index was calculated to be 3.0.
