Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour up to 48 hours after administration the conjunctivae of all animals showed definitely injected blood vessels up to diffuse crimson color, so that individual vessels were not easily discernible. Swelling with lids about half closed was observed in all animals one hour after administration. In addition, serious-colorless eye discharge was noted. 72 hours after administration all signs of irritation had completely disappeared.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test material Locron P is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was performed according to OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP. One eye of three rabbits each was exposed to 0.1g of the test substance for 24 hours. Observation occurred at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. One hour up to 48 hours after administration the conjunctivae of all animals showed definitely injected blood vessels up to diffuse crimson color, so that individual vessels were not easily discernible. Swelling with lids about half closed was observed in all animals one hour after administration. In addition, serous-colorless eye discharge was noted. 72 hours after administration all signs of irritation had completely disappeared.

Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 for cornea score; 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 for iris score; 1.0 / 1.0 / 1.0 for conjunctivae score and 0.0 / 0.0 / 0.0 for chemosis score.

Under the test conditions, the test material Locron P is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
