Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: 16 CFR 1500.42
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: Test substance was applied to the eyes of animals for 30 seconds. The animals were observed for ocular lesions at 24, 48, and 72 hours after instillation of test material.
- Short description of test conditions: Healthy rabbits received 0.1 ml of test material in one eye. Eyes were washed with 20 ml of distilled water for 30 seconds after instillation.
- Parameters analysed / observed: Lesions to the cornea, iris, and conjunctivae. Conjunctivae were evaluated for redness and chemosis.
GLP compliance:
no

- Washing (if done): With and without irrigation with distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 30 s

SCORING SYSTEM: Lesions to the cornea, iris, and conjunctivae. For the cornea, scores ranged from 0-4, with 0 being no ulceration or opacity, and 4 being complete corneal opacity with iris not discernible. For the iris, scores ranged from 0-2, with 0 being normal, and 2 being no reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction, or all of the above. Lesions to the conjunctivae were scored separately for redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris) and chemosis. For redness, scores ranged from 0-3, with 0 being normal vessels, and 3 being diffuse beefy red. For chemosis, scores ranged from 0-4, with 0 being no swelling, and 4 being swelling with lids more than half closed.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: gross observation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was evaluated under the criteria defined by 16 CFR 1500.42 for eye irritation in vivo. While the test substance was determined to be an ocular irritant by these criteria, it does not meet the criteria of Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 for classification of eye irritation.
