Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method B.5 (Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
- Deviations:
- yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Examination of eye irritation after single application demonstrated, that the test substance is not irritating for eye of rabbit.
- Executive summary:
The test substance was tested for the assessment of eye irritation/corrosion effects using albino rabbit (New Zealand Albino breed).
The test was performed according to the EU Method B.5 Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation/Corrosion. Directive 2004/73/EC. Published in O.J. L 152, 2004.
The test was performed initially using one animal. Because neither a corrosive nor a severe irritant effect was observed in initial test, negative response was confirmed using two additional animals.
The following changes were observed on eye of animals
At 1 hour after application in all animals: conjunctivae - some blood vessels hyperaemic (injected) or diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible, in one animal chemosis: some swelling above normal.
At 24 hours after application changes were observed in two animals: conjunctivae - some blood vessels hyperaemic (injected).
At 48, 72 hours after application no other signs of eye irritation were observed.
No clinical signs of systemic intoxication were detected.
Examination of eye irritation after single application demonstrated, that the test substance is not irritating for eye of rabbit.
