Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes were examined and the grade of ocular reaction was recorded one hour and 24 hours later. After the first 24 hour reading, fluorescein was instilled. After rinsing with 20 ml 0.9 sodium chloride solution the eyes were eaxmined again. The eyes were also examined 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and 21 days after the treatment.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 female rabbits

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): After the first 24 hour reading, fluorescein was instilled abd eyes were rinsed with 20 ml 0.9% sodium chloride.

SCORING SYSTEM: according to Guideline

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp / fluorescein

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In this study, very well-defined signs of irritation were observed on the treated eyes. Therefire, the test substance shall be classified as an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

The test substance was investigated for its eye irritating properties according to the method recommended in the OECD Guideline No. 405, "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion", Feb. 1987, and EEC Guideline B.5 "Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation)", Jan. 1997. Three female albino rabbits were exposed to 0.1 ml of the test article in one eye. The eyes were examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale one hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7, 14 and 21 days after dosing. Very well-defined signs of irritation were observed on the treated eyes. Therefore, the test substance shall be classified as an eye irritant.
