Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is slightly irritating to the eyes when tested under the conditions of the OECD guideline 405. Chemosis was seen at 1 (all animals) and 24 h (one animal), being reversible within 48 h. Redness of the conjunctivae was also seen in all animals in the 1 h reading, being fully reversibly after 7 days. Animal #2 had an iris score of 1 in the 1 h reading, animal #1 in the 24 h reading. These effects were fully reversible within 48 h. No corneal effects were observed.

The effect does not result in a classification of the test item according to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

The test item was subject to an Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Test in the rabbit according to OECD TG 405.

Chemosis was observed in all three animals 1 h after application. The effect was fully reversible within 48 h. Conjunctival redness was observed in all three animals up to 72 h after application , reversible by seven days. Iridial effects were noted in one animal up to 24 h. Corneal opacity was not oberved in any animal.
