Description of key information

The skin irritation test was performed according to EU-testing method B.4, using 4 NZW-rabbits. Deviated from Annex V (observations only at 72 hours after initial to administration) but with procedures more severe than Annex V (skin abraded prior to administration, occlusive dressing and 24-hour exposure period). Very slight erythema (grade I) was observed in one animal at 72 hours. The test item was assessed as non-irritant to rabbit skin.
The eye irritation test was performed according to EU-testing method B.5, using 4 NZW-rabbits. Deviated from Annex V (observations only at 24 hours and 7 days after initial to administration). At 24 hours mild conjunctival redness (grade I ) was observed in all animals and mild conjunctival redness (grade I ) in 3 animals) In 2 animals conjunctival redness was still apparent at 7 days, in 1 animal accompanied by discharge. Due to the irreversible conjunctival redness observed in two animals, the test item needs to be classified "Eye dam.1, H318".

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item produced very mild ocular irritation. All four animals exhibited slight conjunctival irritation (redness, chemosis) and iridial changes at 24 hours. By Day 7, two animals were free of ocular irritation; two animals continued to exhibit slight conjunctival irritation.
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item showed irreversible conjunctival redness in two animals after seven days.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation test was performed according to EU-testing method B.5, using 4 NZW-rabbits. Deviated from Annex V (observations only at 24 hours and 7 days after initial to administration). At 24 hours mild conjunctival redness (score 1) was observed in all animals. In 2 animals conjunctival redness was still apparent at 7 days, in 1 animal accompanied by discharge. In 2 animals conjunctival redness was still apparent at 7 days, in 1 animal accompanied by discharge. Due to the irreversible conjunctival redness observed in two animals, the test item needs to be classified "Eye dam.1, H318".
