Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after the application of the test item, the animals showed some hyperaemic conjunctival blood vessels and a swelling above normal.
24 hours after the application of the test item, some hyperaemic conjunctival blood vessels and a swelling above normal were observed in one animal. Two animals showed some hyperaemic conjunctival blood vessels.
After instillation of Fluorescein opacity of the cornea was revealed in none of the three animals.
48 hours and 72 hours after the application of the test item, the three animals were free of any signs of eye irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Peroxidised corn oil is not irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD TG 405 and GLP (Vaeth, 2011), 0.1 mLof undiluted peroxidised corn oil was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three females Russian rabbits for 24 hours.  Animals then were observed for 72 hours.  Irritation was scored according to the guideline.

The following mean values, based on the results from the 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hours readings were calculated:

Animal No.
