Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Corneal opacity (score of 1) was observed in one rabbit. Conjunctival redness (score of 1), chemosis (score of 1) and discharge (score of 2) was noted in the treated eye of all rabbits. Irritation cleared in the treated eye of all rabbits at 48 hours.
Executive summary:

A primary eye irritation test was conducted with rabbits to determine the potential for test substance to produce irritation from a single instillation via the ocular route according to the guidelines OECD 405, US EPA  OPPTS 870.2400, EC B.5 and JMAFF.


At the request of the Sponsor, the study was conducted in a stepwise fashion. Initially, one-tenth of a milliliter (0.067 grams) of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of one healthy rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. Ocular irritation was evaluated by the method of Draize. Since there was no significant irritation observed in this animal, the test was completed on two additional animals, as described above.


No iritis was observed in any treated eye during the study. Corneal opacity (score of 1) was observed in one rabbit. Conjunctival redness (score of 1), chemosis (score of 1) and discharge (score of 2) was noted in the treated eye of all rabbits. Irritation cleared in the treated eye of all rabbits at 48 hours.
