Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU GHS
Conclusions:
Irritation index = 46,67/110.
Executive summary:

A volume of 0.1 mL Docusate sodium (70% solution in ethanol/methanol and water) was applied unilaterally in the eyes of 3 male rabbits according to OECD 405 method. After 72 hours, fluorescein solution was applied for cornea evaluation and rinsing was performed with warm physiological solution. Evalution after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 6, 8, 10, 13, 17 and 21 days after application showed irriversible damage (including turbidity of the cornea). The mean overall irritation score for 1 -72 hours was 46,67/110.
