Duration of treatment / exposure:
30 s
Observation period (in vivo):
7 dyas
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male / 3 female
Details on study design:
The test material in an amount of 0.1 ml was inserted in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the rabbits and the lids were gently closed for 15 seconds. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after the treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of sterile physiological saline. The eye irritation was assessed with a slit-lamp at 24, 48, 72 hours and 4 and 7 days after treatment and was scored for each individual rabbit.

Executive summary:

Method

The study was performed to assess the irritation of the test material to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method followed is the Guidelines of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Paragraph 163.81-5 "Primary eye irritation study", Federal Register, Vol. 43 No. 163 August 22, 1978.

The test material in an amount of 0.1 ml was inserted in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the rabbits and the lids were gently closed for 15 seconds. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after the treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of sterile physiological saline. The eye irritation was assessed with a slit-lamp at 24, 48, 72 hours and 4 and 7 days after treatment and was scored for each individual rabbit.

 

 

Results

The test material produced a minimal cornea irritation on 3/6 animals and minimal conjunctival irritation (redness) on 5/6 animals. . All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-hour observation.

 

 

Conclusion

The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for iritis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and oedema, in all animals.

Therefore the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified as eye irritating.

 

In conclusion, the test item can be not classified as irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008).
