Irritant / corrosive response data:

No clinical signs related to the administration of the test item were observed. The ocular reactions observed during the study were slight to moderate and totally reversible in three animals:
- at the conjunctivae level; a slight to moderate redness noted 1 hour after test item instillation and totally reversible between day 3 and day 4, associated with a slight to moderate chemosis, noted 1 hour after the test item instillation and totally reversible between day 1 and 3.
- at the iris level; a congestion noted 1 hour after the test item instillation in only one animal.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: One eye left untreated as negative control; negative control results were not reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The eye irritation potential of the test item was determined in a guideline study with New Zealand White Rabbits. The ocular reactions observed during the study were slight to moderate and totally reversible in all three animals. The results of the eye irritation study were interpreted according to the European directives 2001/59/E.C and 99/45/E.C. and in accordance with the Globally Harmonised System (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) and the test item must not be classified for eye irritation.

Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated in an OECD 405 and EC method B.5 guideline study with three albino white rabbits. The test item was grinded and then 0.1 g was applied to one eye of the test animal, with the other eye left untreated as a control. Observations were made after 1 hour, and then after 24, 48 and 72 hours using an opthalmoscope. Eye irritation was evaluated using a scoring system based on chemosis, discharge, redness, iris condition, degree of opacity of the cornea and extent of opacity of the cornea at each observation interval and the total and average irritation index scores were calculated. The results of the eye irritation study were interpreted according to the European directives 2001/59/E.C and 99/45/E.C. and in accordance with the Globally Harmonised System (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

The ocular reactions observed during the study were slight to moderate and totally reversible in all three animals. The results of the eye irritation study were interpreted according to the European directives and in accordance with the Globally Harmonised System and the test item must not be classified for eye irritation.

This study is a GLP compliant guideline experimental study, acceptable without restriction for assessment of this endpoint.
