Irritant / corrosive response data:
In animal 1 and 2 pupil contraction was observed 1 h after exposure. In animal 3 pupil contraction and loss of corneal tissue were observed 24 to 72 h after exposure, which was fully reversible within 8 days. In the same animal small retractions in the eyelids was observed 48 h to 8 days after exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the substance is considered not to be irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

The potential to cause damage to the conjunctiva, iris of cornea was assessed, in an OECD 405 guideline study, in 3 white Vienna rabbits subjected to a single ocular application of 0.1 mL of the test substance on day 0. The mean score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0, 0, and 1 for corneal opacity, 0,0, and 0 for iritis, 0, 0.3, and 0.7 for chemosis, and 0.7, 1.7, and 1.7 for conjunctivae redness, for animal 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Findings were reversible within 8 days after application. It was concluded that the test substance was not irritating to the eye.
