Irritant / corrosive response data:

- No corneal or iridium effects were noted during the study.
- Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one 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 hour observation with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in all treated eyes at the 48 hour observation.
- All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.
- The individual mean scores for corneal opacity and iritis was 0.0 for all animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 1.0/1.0/1.0 for reddening and 0.3/0.7/0.7 for chemosis.

Other effects:

One animal showed no gain in body weight and two animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test item is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL (approximately 92 mg) of test item was instilled into the right eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. The left eye remained untreated and served as control. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after application, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment and graded according to the Draize method.

No corneal or iridium effects were noted during the study. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one 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 hour observation with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in all treated eyes at the 48 hour observation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 hour observation.

The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 1.0 /1.0 /1.0 for redness, 0.3 /0.7 /0.7 for chemosis, 0/0/0 for iris lesions and 0/0/0 for corneal opacity.The effects observed were all reversible within 72 hours.

 

Under the test conditions, the test item is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
