- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Without rinsing, a slight (grade1) and fully reversible (within 10 days) redness of the conjunctivae was observed in all rabbits. A slight chemosis
(grade 1) was present in 4 out of 6 rabbits but the reaction cleared within 3 days.
The washing procedure did not modify the ocular reactions. All animals showed a slight (grade 1) and transient redness of the conjunctivae. Chemosis was observed in 1 out 3 animals but the reaction cleared within 4 days.
No lesions of cornea or iris were reported whatever the procedure od treatment. (See Table 1 for complete raw data)

To obtain subtotal for the cornea multiply the product of the opacity and area scores by 5. For the iris subtotal multiply the score by 5 and for conjunctivae multiply the sum of the scores (redness, chemosis and discharge) by 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP (Reg. 1272/2008/EC)
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions of this study and according to the criterai laid down in CLP (Reg 1272/2008/EC), the test item Sodium
hypophosphite is considered as non-irritant to the eyes. - Executive summary:
The potential of Sodium hypophosphite to induce eye irritation was assessed in 9 rabbits according to methods similar to OPPTS 870.2400 and OECD 405 guidelines. There were no information in the report about GLP compliance.
A single dose of 100 mg of the test item was instilled into one eye, the other eye was not treated and served as control. For 6 rabbits, the eyes were not rinsed after administration of the test item while a washing procedure was applied for 3 other animals .Ocular reactions were observed 24, 48 and 72 hours after the administration and then daily until reversibility of the ocular reactions. The values of the scores for chemosis, redness of the conjunctiva, iris lesions and corneal opacity were noted for each animal.
Mean scores calculated over 24, 48 and 72 hours for the 6 animals without rinsing were 0.33 for chemosis, 0.89 for redness of the conjunctiva, 0 for iris lesions and 0 for corneal opacity. Redness and chemosis were fully reversible within 10 and 3 days respectively.
Washing procedure did not change the ocular reactions.
Under these experimental conditions,Sodium hypophosphite was considered non- irritant when administered by ocular route to rabbits.
