Irritant / corrosive response data:
Instillation of the test substance into one of the eyes of three female rabbits slightly affected the conjunctivae. Approximately 43 minutes after exposure all three animals showed slight conjunctival redness only. In animals 3077 and 3083 the reddening had disappeared the next day and in animal 3081, 72 hours after instillation of the test substance.
Adverse effects on the cornea and the iris were not observed in any of the rabbits during the entire observation period. Treatment of the eyes with fluorescein 24 hours after instillation of the test substance did not reveal any epithelial damage. During the first few hours after exposure lacrimation was observed in all rabbits and in animal 3083 discharge was slightly higher.
Signs of systemic intoxication were not observed. Based on the calculated Oraize score of 2 (1 hour) the test substance should be classified as minimally irritating according to the scheme of Kay and C alandra (1962). According to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances, the test substance need not be labelled as an eye-irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances, the test substance need not be labelled as an eye-irritant.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the ability of the test substance to produce ocular irritation or corrosion in the rabbit following a single. application to the eye. The substance was found to be a non-irritant. According to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling of dangerous substances, the test substance need not be labelled as an eye-irritant.
