Other effects:
In the area of application a brown discoloration of the conjunctivae which could be related to effects of the teat article was observed during the observation period.

No acute toxic aymptoma were observed in the animals during the teat period, and no mortality occurred.

NECROPSY
Due to the reaults obtained, no macroscopic organ examination was indicated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritating for rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for eye irritation according to the OECD guideline 405 and EEC Directive 79/381, annex V, Part B. During the test 2 male and 1 female rabbits are treated with 0.1 g of the test compound.

Mean values at 24, 48 and 72 hours corneal opacity were 0.00 in two animals (#1 and #2) and 0.67 in one animal (#3). Mean values at 24, 48 and 72 hours for iris were 0.00 in all three animals. The conjunctivae scores as mean values at 24, 48 and 72 hours were: for redness 0.67 in animals #1 and #3 and 1 in animal #2; for chemosis 0.33 in animal #1 and 1 in animals #2 and #3. All effects observed were fully reversible within the end of the 72 -hour study period, except in one animal (animal #2 showed a redness score 1 at 72 hours). None of the treated eyes was rinsed after the test item application. Moreover, the substance is a powder and thus it is even more necessary to rinse the eye in order to exclude any effects that could occur due to its physical state. In addition, a fully reversibility was observed within 72 hours in all animals besides one animal (#2). Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that reversibility within 21 days will occur also in animal #2 even if it a fully reversibility was not possible to be observed within the 72 hours study period.
