Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
On the basis of the results it is concluded that TDI-Urone is slightly irritating to the eyes of rabbits but not relevant for classification.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD 405 0.1 g TDI-Urone were applied unchanged into the conjunctival sac of 3 female New Zealand White rabbits (Crl:KBL (NZW) BR). Eyes were not washed after treatment. Animals were observed 72 h respectively and furthermore until the disappearance of the symptoms. This was achieved at 48 h for animal No 375, at 96 h of animal No 358 and at 192 h for animal No 357. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

The test item produced redness of the conjunctivae in all three animals as well as opacity of the comea in one animal. Effects were fully reversible.

No comeal lesions were found upon fluorescein examination at the final readings.

In this study TDI-Urone was found to be slightly irritating to the eyes of rabbits but not relevant for classification.
