PREPARATION
About 24 hours before the start of the study the test eyes of all animal were examined under UV light for corneal lesion after instillation of one drop of a 0.01% fluorescein-sodium solution. Only animal without ocular abnormalities were used for the study.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: yes with isotonic saline at 37°C
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein; at 24 and 72 hours the eyes were also examined for corneal lesion under UV light after instillation of one drop of 0.01% fluorescein-sodium solution.

SCORING SYSTEM: according to OECD guideline 405

One hour up to 2 days after application the conjunctivae of the animals showed an evident hyperemia of the blood vessels to a diffuse, deeper crimson reddening and a slight to obvious swelling. Additionally a clear, red-orange colored discharge was observed in two animals one hour after application. 3 days after application the signs of irritation were reversible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed, that the substance is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

The test substance was examined for eye irritating effects in rabbit eyes according to OECD testing guideline 405.

About 24 hours before the start of the study the test eyes of all animals were examined under UV light for corneal lesions after instillation of one drop of a 0.01 % f1uorescein-sodium solution. Only animals without ocular abnormalities were used for

the study.

100 mg test substance was applied once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three rabbits. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control.

24 hours after application and at all other designated examination times at which the treated eyes still showed discharge or at which a corneal examination with fluorescein sodium solution took place, the treated eyes were washed out thoroughly with isotonic saline at approx. 37°C.

The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance.

At 24 and 72 hours the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV light after instillation of one drop of 0.01 % fluorescein-sodium solution. Lesions in cornea. iris or conjunctivae were graded numerically. All other changes or toxic effects were recorded.

One hour up to 2 days after application the conjunctivae of the animals showed an evident hyperaemie of the blood vessels to a diffuse, deeper crimson reddening and a slight to obvious swelling. Additionally a clear, red-orange coloured discharge was

observed in two animals one hour after application. Three days after application the signs of irritation were reversible.

Based on the individual scores after 24, 48 and 72 hours, the following mean values were calculated:

Opacity of cornea all animals 0.0; iris all animals 0.0; redness of conjunctiva all animals 0.4; chemosis of conjunctiva all animals 0.0

Hence, the substance is not irritating to the eye.
