Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Conjunctival redness was observed in 3/3 animals at one hour after instillation of the test item (score (redness): 1) as well as in 2/3 animals at the 24 h reading. This effect was fully reversible by 48 hours after application.
- No effects on cornea, iris, or chemosis occurred (score 0 at every time point)
Other effects:
There was discharge observed in all animals one hour after instillation of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test material is not irritating to eyes under these test conditions. Test material contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore the test results are considered adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

Test material was subject to an acute eye irritation/corrosion test in 3 rabbits according to OECD TG 405. No corneal or iridial effects were observed. Chemosis was not found likewise. Conjunctival redness was observed in 3/3 animals at one hour after instillation of the test item (score (redness): 1) as well as in 2/3 animals at the 24 h reading. This effect was fully reversible by 48 hours after application. As the mean values of the observed eye responses fall below the critical values for classification according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the test material is not irritating to eyes and has not to be classified for eye irritation.
