Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 g of the test article
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes of each animal were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, 7 days and 14 days after administration. Viability, mortality: dailyClinical Symptoms dailyBody weight: day 1 of test (application day) and at termination of test on a Mettler PK 16 balanceThe eye reaction were wxamined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, 7 and 14 days after administration.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2 males, 1 female
Details on study design:
The eyes of the animals were observed one day prior to test article administration.0.1 g or the test article was placed in the conjunctival sac or the left eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from theeyeball. The lids were then gently held together ror about one second to prevent loss or the test article. The right eye remained untreated and served as the reference control.In cases of equivocal results when comparing the treated and untreated eyes, the illustrated guide rrom the Consumer Product Sarety Commission Washington, D.C. 20207 would be used for additional control purposes.Eye examinations were made with a slit—lamp 30 SL/M (C. Zeiss AG, Zuerich/Switzerland) and a Varta Cliptrix diagnostic—lamp (A. Riegger, Basel/Switzerland).The observation was terminated 14 days after administration of the test article.All rabbits were killed by an intravenous injection of T61 (Hoechst/AG) into the ear vein and discarded.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The substance showed a primary irritation score of 4.42 when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.A brown to slight brown staining or the cornea, conjunctivae and eyelashes of the treated eyes by pigment or coloring of the test article was observed
Corneal opacity was observed in all animals. Two animals within 1 to 72 hours and one animal within 1 hour to 7 days.
Other effects:
No acute toxic symptoms were observed in the animals during the test period, and no mortality occurred.With the exception of animal no. 44 the body weight gain of the rabbits was similar. Due to minimal food consumption between days 6 and 15 of test animal.No necropsy was performed. All animals were killed and discarded.no. 44 lost weight. In addition to the laboratory diet (Kliba) hay was red starting with day.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Data arre summarized in tabular form, showing for each individual animal the irritation scores at the designated observation time, a description of the degree and nature of irritation, the presence or serious lesions and non—ocular effects.

To calculate the irritation effect all scores of each animal at each of the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values (Council Directive 83/467/EEC, July 1983 and 67/548/EEC, May 1987, Brussels, Belgium).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: classified as an eye irritant according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008
Remarks:
Classified according to the CLP Regulation
Conclusions:
Irritating for the rabbit eye
Executive summary:

Method

The eye irritation /corrosion property was tested on the substance according to the OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion) and the EU Method B.5 (Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation / Corrosion), in GLP.

Observations

Under the conditions of this experiment, the substance was found to cause a primary irritation score of 4.42 when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.

A brown to slight brown staining of the cornea, conjunctivae and eyelashes of the treated eyes by pigment or coloring of the test article was observed. Corneal opacity was observed in a and one animal within 1 hour to 7 days.

Results

According to EEC Council Directive, 83/467/EEC, July 1983 Brussels, Belgium, the mean value of the scores for each type of lesion, calculated rot each animal separately.

Due to the results the test article had to be classified as irritating to the eyes, also if no rinsing of the eye has been applied.
