Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL respectively its equivalent (maximum 100 mg) per animal
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single application
Observation period (in vivo):
72 hrs
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 animals
Details on study design:
Initial test:
First the test substance is administered to one animal only.
If a corrosive or severe irritant effect is observed, further testing for ocular irritancy will not be performed.

Confirmatory test:
If no corrosive or severe irritant effect is observed in the initial test, the test substance is administered to two additional animals about one week later.
