Irritant / corrosive response data:
No signs of irritation were observed at the cornea or iris.The conjunctivae showed redness (score 1) at the first reading (1 hour) in all animals and in one animal at the second reading (24 hours). Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. No abnormalities were detected in the untreated eyes.
Other effects:
- Clinical signs: No signs of clinical toxicity were detected.
- Mortality: All animals survived the observation period.
- Body weights: Body weight development of the treated rabbits was inconspicious.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this in vivo eye irritation study according to OECD guideline 405, the test item showed no relevant eye irritating potential.
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to OECD guideline 405 under GLP conditions. The test item was tested for its eye irritating properties. Prior to testing, the hen's egg test on the chorioallantoic membrane was performed and no irritating potential could be detected. The test for primary eye irritation was performed initially with one animal and followed by the confirmatory test with two further animals. For the test of primary eye irritation, the test material was applied into the conjunctival sac of rabbits. The first examination of the eyes followed 1 hour after instillation. The other examinations of the eyes were performed daily for a further 7 days. No signs of irritation were observed at the cornea or iris. The conjunctivae showed redness (score 1) at the first reading (1 hour) in all animals and in one animal at the second reading (24 hours). Thereafter no signs of irritation were observed. No abnormalities were detected in the untreated eyes. No relevant eye irritating potential could be detected. The test item should not be classified as an eye irritant.
