- Concentration (if solution): undiluted test sample, 86.6% TOS.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Eyelids were held together for about one second and then released.
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and again 7 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions employed, Novozym 230 was regarded as negative as to potential for eye injury, and cannot be classified under the GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation test on 6 albino rabbits carried out with Novozym 230 (batch PPZ1281) according to the Code of Federal Regulations, title 16, § 1500.42.

0.06 g of the test substance corresponding to the volume 0.1 mL was placed in the left eye of each rabbit by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eye ball, and the test substance was carefully introduced into

the resulting cup. The lids were then gently held together for one second. The right eye, remaining untreated, served as a control.

The treatments resulted in slight conjunctival redness in two of the rabbits until 24 hours. This effect was reversible within 48 hours.

Under the test conditions employed, Novozym 230 was regarded as negative as to potential for eye injury.
