Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Animal experimental study, predates implementation of GLP and/or development of study guidelines, limitations in design and/or reporting but otherwise adequate for assessment

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
According to BASF-internal standard: Two White Vienna rabbits received 50 mg of the test substance in the conjunctival sac of one eye. The adjacent eye received talcum powder as a control. The animals were scored 1, 24 h and 8 days after application.
GLP compliance:
no

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Test substance:
- 1 h after application: Slight redness, marked edema, slight to marked corneal opacity and corneal release was observed in both animals.
- 24 h after application: Slight redness, slight edema, and slight corneal opacity were observed in both animals. A foamy discharge was observed in one animal and secretion in the other.
- 8 days after application: Slight redness and slight corneal opacity observed in both animals.

Control substance (talcum):
- 1 h after application: Slight redness observed in both animals. Slight edema observed in one animal.
- 24 h after application: Slight redness observed in both animals.
- 8 days after application: no effects observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results after 8 days, slight redness an slight corneal opacity, the test substance has to be classified as irreversible effects on the eye.
