Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions this study, the test material is not classified as an ocular irritant in accordance with EU criteria.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the potential of the test material to cause irritation to the eyes of rabbits using methodology similar to that outlined in the standardised guideline OECD 405.

The eye irritation potential of three batches of the test material was assessed in male JW rabbits (three per batch). The dose level administered was 0.1 mL/eye. The eyes of the rabbits were closed for about one second after instillation. Observations were made at 1 hour after instillation and then every 24 hours for a total duration of 72 hours. The Draize scoring system was used to determine the degree of eye reaction.

At the 24, 48 and 72 hour time points, no eye in any rabbit showed any reaction to the test material with regard to the cornea, iris, redness, chemosis and discharge. All scores were 0.

Under the conditions this study, the test material is not classified as an ocular irritant in accordance with EU criteria.
