Irritant / corrosive response data:
In all animals slight blue staining (test substance related) in the cornea was found which impeded 1 h observation of conjunctival redness.
Other effects:
There were no signs of body weight variability, toxicity or mortality in any animal during the study period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was considered to be not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the eye irritancy potential of the test substance (of 100 % purity) to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD Guideline 405. A single ocular dose of 0.1 mL (49 mg) of test substance was applied into the conjunctival sac of right eye of each animal. The eyelids were then gently held together for one sec before releasing. The untreated eye served as control. Without washing, eyes were scored for irritation reactions at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 d post-instillation. Instillation of the test substance into the eye elicited mild conjunctival redness and chemosis. However, the mean scores of 24, 48 and 72 h in all the animals were below the threshold of significance (<2) and had resolved within 72 h after instillation. Based on these findings, the test substance was considered to be not irritating to the eye.
