Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the test substance, the test substance, did not show any evidence of eye irritation or corrosion in New Zealand White rabbits under the conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

This study was conducted to evaluate the potential eye irritation/corrosion after a single application of the test substance in three 11-week-old male New Zealand White rabbits.In the initial test, one-tenth (0.1) mL of the test substance (100% test substance) was instilled to the conjunctivae sac of the right eye of one animal after gently pulling over the lower eyelid away from the eyeball. There was a negative response after application in the initial test. Therefore, a confirmatory test was conducted using two animals. Eye irritation was scored according to the method of Draize at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test substance application. Mean 24, 48, 72 hour scores of the three animals were: cornea: 0; iris: 0; conjunctival redness: 0 and chemosis: 0. Based on these results, the test substance is considered to be non-irritating in rabbits' eyes.
