TREATMENT PROCEDURE
One animal was treated in advance of the others, approximately 100 mg of the test substance, the weight occupying a volume of 0.1 mL, was placed into the lower everted lid of one eye of each animal. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing. The contralateral eye remained untreated.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea was seen in two animals one hour after instillation. Corneal opacification developed in one of these animals.
No iridial inflammation was seen.
A diffuse crimson to beefy red colouration was seen in all three animals, accompanied in two rabbits by considerable swelling with partial eversion of the eyelids or with the eyelids about half closed.
The reactions gradually ameliorated and the eyes were normal 4, 7 or 14 days after instillation.
Other effects:
There were no signs of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Instillation of test item into the rabbit eye elicited corneal opacification and well-defined to moderate conjunctival irritation.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of test item to the rabbit following the method as described in EC B.5.

Three rabbits were each administered a single ocular dose of 100 mg of the test substance and observed for a maximum of 14 days after instillation.

A single instillation of test item into the eye of the rabbit elicited corneal opacification and well-defined to moderate to severe conjunctival irritation. Responses had resolved in all instances by 14 days after instillation.
