Irritant / corrosive response data:

Individua scores for ocular irritation are given in Table 1.
Scattered or diffuse corneal opacity was noted in one treated eye one hour after treatment, in both treated eyes at the 24 and 48 h observations and in one treated eye at the 72 h observation.
Iridial inflammation was noted in both treated eyes one hour after treatment and at the 24, 48 and 72 h observations and in one treated eye at the 7-Day observation.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated eyes one hour after treatment and at the 24, 48 and 72 h observations with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 7-Day observation.
A small area of petechial haemorrhage on the nictitating membrane was noted in one treated eye at the 24 and 48 h observations.
Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 14-Day observation.

Other effects:

Both animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
No further local or systemic effects were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item produced individual scores of 1/0.67 for corneal opacity, 1/1 for iritis, 2/2 for conjunctival redness and 1.67/2 for chemosis, calculated as the mean scores following gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hour after instillation. Observed effects were fully reversible within the observation period.
Therefore, the test item meets the classification criteria for Eye Irritation Category 2 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and for Eye Irritation Category 2A accoridng to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
The test item is thus considered to be eye irritating.

CLP: Eye Irrit. 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation.)
GHS: Eye Irrit. 2A (H319: Causes serious eye irritation.)
