TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River (UK) Limited, Margate, Kent, England
- Age at study initiation: 3 months
- Weight at study initiation: 2.37-2.71 kg
- Housing: individually in stainless steel cages (dimensions 77.2 x 70.1 x 48 cm) with a Noryl moulded dual level interior and perforated floor beneath which was an absorbent paper lined tray
- Diet: Teklad Diet supplied by Harlan UK was available ad libitum. Each animal was also offered a supplement of hay or organically grown cabbage ca. twice weekly
- Water: Domestic mains quality water was available ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19°C - 21°C
- Humidity (%): 57%
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/dark cycle

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: other: left eye of each animal was untreated

Amount / concentration applied:

Amount instilled (weight equivalent of 0.1 ml)
0.0365 g - Animal 1
0.0365 g - Animal 2
0.0363 g - Animal3

Duration of treatment / exposure:

0.0365 g of test material was placed into the right eye of three rabbits by gently pulling the lower eye lid away from the eyeball to form a sac into which the test material was dropped. The lids were then gently held together for 1-2 seconds. The left eye was left untreated to serve as the control.

Observation period (in vivo):

One rabbit was treated first and observed for signs of severe irritation for up to 24 hours. As none were noted, the remaining 2 rabbits were treated in the same way
The eyes were examined using a hand held magnifier and pen torch 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 female rabbits

Details on study design:

Both eyes of each rabbit were examined prior to dosing and no ocular defects were detected.
All the animals were examined for reaction to treatment. The onset, intensity and duration of any signs were recorded.
The eyes were examined using a hand held magnifier and pen torch 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, it is considered that the test substance is not irritating to the rabbit eye.
No responses were noted in any animal during any of the observation periods.

Executive summary:

One group of three female rabbits was treated with the weight equivalent of

0.1ml of the test material instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye. The treated eye was then examined for evidence of irritation 1,24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation.

No responses were noted in any animal during any of the observation periods.
