Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: left eye served as control, right eye as test eye
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL of the test item was administered into one eye each of three animals.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours after instillation the eyes were rinsed with 20 mL NaCl solution. For 8 hours following test item application, the animals were kept singly in restrain¬ers which allowed free movement of the head but prevented a complete body turn, wiping of the eyes with the paws and excluded irritation of the eye by excre¬ments and urine.
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with NaCl solution
- Time after start of exposure: 24

SCORING SYSTEM:

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp / fluorescein

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Under the present test conditions, a single instillation of 0.1 mL IPETC per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused the following changes:
Corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in animal nos. one and three 24 and 48 hours after instillation.
The fluorescein test performed 24 hours after instillation revealed corneal staining in animal nos. 1 and 3 (up to 1/4 of the surface).
Irritation of the iris (grade 1) was observed in animal no. one 24 hours after instillation.
Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in all animals 60 minutes and in animal nos. 1 and 3 up to 24 hours after instillation.
Chemosis (grade 1) was observed in all animals 60 minutes after instillation.
There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
All symtoms were fully reversible within 72 hours after exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
EU GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the present test conditions, under the criteria set up in EC-Commission directive 67/548/EEC and EC-Regulation 1272/2008, the test item is concluded to be non-irritating to eyes
Executive summary:

An in vivo eye irritation/corrosion test with the test substance was performed in 3 rabbits in accordance with OECD Guideline 405. Based on the obtained test results and in accordance with the criteria of Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation), the test substance is not classified for eye irritation.
