Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single instillation on day 1.
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test substance.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
STUDY DESIGN
0.1 mL of the test substance is allowed to fall on the everted lower lid of one eye of each rabbit; the upper and lower eye lid are then carefully closed and subsequently held together for at least one second before releasing, to prevent loss of material.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
-Washing (if done): No

OBSERVATIONS
The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test substance.
The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded.The irritation was assessed according to OECD 405.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study with rabbits, performed equivalent to OECD 405 test guideline, Elintaal F caused slight redness of the conjunctivae in 3 out of 6 rabbits. The effects were fully reversible after 7 days.

Executive summary:

Elintaal F was tested in an eye irritation study with rabbits, performed equivalent to OECD 405 test guideline.

The test substance caused slight redness of the conjunctivae in 3 out of 6 rabbits. The effects were fully reversible after 7 days.

Based on the results, Elintaal F does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
