Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Three male albino New Zealand rabbits were supplied by EUROLAP. The animals were kept during a minimal 5-day acclimatisation period.
At the beginning of the test, the animals were 10 or 11 weeks old.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL of the test item was instilled
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Initially, a single animal was treated. After consideration of the responses in the first animal, two additional animals were treated in the same experimental conditions.
Observation period (in vivo):
Ocular examinations were performed on both right and left eyes 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight to moderate and totally reversible:
- at the conjunctivae level: a moderate redness noted 24 hours after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 3 and 7; associated with a slight chemosis noted 1 hour or 24 hours after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 1 and 2.
- at the iris level: an injection noted 24 hours after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 2 and 3.
- at the corneal level: a slight to moderate opacity, noted 24 hours after the test item instillation and totally reversible between days 2 and 7.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The results obtained, under these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test item Teinture mère de Ledum palustre – code L12C has to be classified in category 2 “Irritating to eyes” in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
The signal word “Warning” and hazard statement H319 “Causes serious eye irritation” are required.
