Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal effects were noted during the study.
Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes 1 hour after treatment, in two treated eyes at the 24-Hour observation and persisted in one treated eye at the 48 and 72-Hour observations.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes 1 hour after treatment. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in two treated eyes and minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in one treated eye at the 24, 48 and 72-Hour observations. Moderate conjunctival irritation persisted in one treated eye at the 7-Day observation.
Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 7-Day observation and one treated eye appeared normal at the 14-Day observation.
Other effects:
Body Weight : All animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study.


Measurement of pH:
10% w/w aqueous preparation of the test item immediately after preparation = 7.33
10% w/w aqueous preparation of the test item ten minutes after preparation = 7.33

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions of this study and according to the criteria laid down in GHS, the test item is considered as as Irritating to eyes (Category 2A), due to the absence of complete reversibility 7 days following instillation.
Executive summary:

The potential of the test item to induce eye irritation was assessed in New Zealand White rabbit according to the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No.405  "Acute  Eye Irritation/Corrosion".The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice.

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced iridial inflammation between 1 and 72 hours following dosing and moderate conjunctival irritation between 1 hour and 7 days following dosing. Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 7-Day observation and one treated eye appeared normal at the 14-Day observation.

The test item was classified as Irritating to eyes (Category 2A) according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System.

The Signal Word "Warning" and the Hazard Statement "H319: Causes serious eye irritation" are therefore required.
