Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
ANIMALS AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
- Two New Zealand White rabbits (Hsdlf:NZW) were supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd, Leicestershire, UK
- At the start of the study the animals weighed 2.56 kg or 2.74 kg and were 12 to 20 weeks old.
- After an acclimatisation period of at least 5 days each animal was given a number unique within the study, which was written with a black indelible marker-pen on the inner surface of the ear and on the cage label.
- Animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages.
- Free access to mains drinking water and food (2930C Teklad Global Rabbit diet supplied by Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd, Oxon UK) was allowed throughout the study.
- The diet and drinking water were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 17 °C to 23 °C and 30 % to 70 % respectively.
- The rate of air exchange was at least 15 changes per hour.
- Lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and 12 hours darkness.
- Animals were provided with environmental enrichment items, which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

MEASUREMENT OF pH

- Aqueous preparation of the test item (10 % w/w): pH 8.62 immediately; pH 8.31 after 10 minutes.

OCULAR REACTIONS

- No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.

- Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated eyes one hour after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 24 and 48 hour observations.

- Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

BODY WEIGHT

- Individual body weights and body weight change are given in Table 3 (attached).

- One animal showed body weight loss and the other animal showed expected gain in body weight during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 11.0 and was considered to be a mild irritant to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra system (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale). However, the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The study was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 405 "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion" (adopted 02 October 2013) and Method B.5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.

RESULTS

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced moderate conjunctival irritation. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

CONCLUSION

The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 11.0 and was considered to be a mild irritant to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra system (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale). However, the test material is not classified under the terms of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
