Materials and methods

Test guidelineopen allclose all
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
not applicable
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.5 (Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Before OECD Guideline 405 was first adopted in 1981, eye irritation was tested using a BASF test.
The methods were based on Draize (Federal Register 38, No. 187, § 1500.42, p. 27019 (1973-09-27)).
GLP compliance:
no

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight conjunctival redness was the only test item-related finding noted. The mean scores (24/48/72 hours) for this endpoint were 1 in 2/3 rabbits and 0.7 in the remaining rabbit. Reversibility was not reported; however, 1/3 rabbits showed no signs of conjunctival redness at the 72-hour reading.
The primary irritation index was calculated to be 1.8.
