Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an acute eye irritation study in 3 rabbits, conducted in accordance with OECD 405 (2002), EU Method B.5 (2008), EPA OPPTS 870.2400 (1998) and according to GLP principles, irritant effects were observed which were fully reversible within 72 hours. Based on the results of this study, the substance does not need to be classified for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation study was conducted in 3 rabbits in accordance with OECD 405 (2002), EU Method B.5 (2008), EPA OPPTS 870.2400 (1998) and according to GLP principles. In none of the animals, any effects on the cornea were observed. In all animals, an iris score of 1 was observed after 1 hour. Conjunctival redness (score: 1) was observed in all animals after 1 and 24 hours and in two animals also after 48 hours. In these two animals, chemosis (score: 1) was observed after 1 hour and in the other animal chemosis (score: 2). All ocular effects fully reversed within 72 hours. Based on the results of this study, the substance does not need to be classified for eye irritation.
