Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Male and female white New Zealand rabbits weight between 3.7 and 6.0 kg each. Animals were marked with a 5 digit number and held in steel cages. They were acclimated for 14 days prior to testing. Standard rabbit diet and water was provided ad libitum. Room temperature was held at 20 degrees C +/- 1 degree C, humidity at 60 +/- 5%, with a 12/12 hour light/dark cycle.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single treatment that was not washed out.
Observation period (in vivo):
1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and at 6 days after application.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 (3 male, 3 female)
Details on study design:
Treatment was to the right eye with lower lid removed. The left eye was untreated and served as the control. The eyes were not washed out during the test. Observations were made at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and at 6 days after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Result: moderately irritating
Executive summary:

The eyes of six rabbits were treated with the test substance and observed for six days. Results indicate that the substance was moderately irritating but because of the intensity of the necrosis formation the study was stopped at day 6.
