Irritant / corrosive response data:
Based on the readings before fluorescein application, all 4 animals showed a cornea opacity (scored with 1) after 1h , which was reversible within 72 h in 1/4 animals. All animals showed an Iris score of 1 after 1 h, which was reversible within 72h in 2/4 animals. Conjunctivae was observed in all animals after 1 h (scored with 3 in 1 animal and with 2 in the other 3 animals). After 24 h all animals showed a conjunctivae scored with 2. After 48 h or 72 h the scoring decreased to 1 (in 2 or 1 animal, respectively). The fourth animal showed a consistent scoring of 2 within the 72 h. Chemosis was observed in all animals after 1 h (scored with 2). 2/2 animals showed a decrease in scoring to 1 after 24 h, the other 2 animals after 48 h.
7 days after application of the test article all four animals were free of any signs of eye irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
CLP: Eye irrit 2, H319
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test substance was determined by an in vivo eye irritation test according to OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (2016).Application of the test substance to the rabbit eye resulted in a mean corneal opacity score of 1 in 3/4 animals, which was reversible within maximum 7 days. Thus, the test substance is considered to be irritant to the eye.
