Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.
Minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treatment eyes one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation.
One treated eye appeared normal at the 24-hour observation and the two remaining treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material does not meet the criteria for classification as an eye irritant as defined in the EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 under the conditions of the study.
Executive summary:

Test Guidance

OECD Guideline No. 405 and EC Method B5

Method and materials

Available information indicated that the test material had the potential to produce severe effects in the rabbit eye. To confirm the initial assessment a Rabbit Enucleated Eye Test (REET) was performed prior to the in vivo study ( see 7.3.2 Supp eye irritation - in vitro Mullaney 2006). The results indicated that the test material was unlikely to cause severe ocular irritancy.

0.1 mL of the test material was applied as supplied to the non-irrigated eye of three albino New Zealand rabbits. Irritation and classification was recorded using the Draize and Kay and Calandra scales at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour time points.

Results

Application of the test material produced minimal to moderate conjunctival irritation. One eye appeared normal at the 24 -hour observation and the remaining two treated eyes appeared normal at the 48 -hour observation.

Conclusion

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is not required for eye irritation.
