Irritant / corrosive response data:

Slight reddening of the conjunctivae was noted in the three animals 1 h after treatment and persisted up to 48 h in two animals.
1 h reading: slight swelling (chemosis) in 1 animal, slight occular discharges in all treated animals
24 h and 48 h reading: slight conjunctivae redness in 2 animals.
72 h reading: no abnormal findings observed in any animal.

No coloration of the treated eyes was noted at any of the reading times.

Other effects:

- changes in body weight during the course of the study were not remarkable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item is not irritating to skin when tested under the conditions of the OECD guideline 405.

Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD guideline no 405. The test item (0.1 g) was applied to the intact eye of three New Zealand White rabbits for 1 h. Redding of the conjunctivae was noted in all three animals 1 h after the tratment and persisited up to 48 h in two animals. Slight swelling was noted in one and slight occular discharge was noted in two animals in the 1 h reading.

The individual mean scores calculated across the three scoring times (24, 48, 72 h) were for corneal opacity 0.0 (three animals), for iris 0.0 (three animals), for conjunctivae redding 0.0, 0.7 and 0.7 and for chemosis 0.0 (three animals).

No abnormal findings were observed in the treated eye of any animal 72 h after treatment.

There was no indication of systemic toxicity.
