Other effects:
In all 3 animals, slight signs of conjunctival irritation (chemosis, redness and discharge) were observed at the 1-hour observation. No further reactions were observed among the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Only slight signs of irritation were observed at 1 hour. All eyes were normal by 24 hours.
Executive summary:

The eye irritant effect of the test substance was investigated according to the method OECD Guideline 405. One rabbit was exposed to 0.1 mL of the test substance in the left eye which is equivalen to 1.36 mg active enzyme protein/ kg bw or 7.04 enzyme concentrate dry matter/kg bw.. The eye was examined 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after exposure. A well-defined response was not observed in the original animal and the study was carried out on two additional animals. Only slight signs of irritation were observed in the first hour after exposure.


 


The following mean values, based on results from the 24, 48, and 72 hour readings, were calculated:
