Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The eyes were not washed after treatment
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 male, 3 female
Details on study design:
The eye irritancy was assessed using a method based on that described in the OECD Guidelines. 6 rabbits, between 4.2 and 5.1 kg were used. 0.1 mL of undilute test substance was placed into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye on each rabbit and the lids held together for a few seconds to prevent lose of material. The eyes were not washed. An initial pain assessment was made and graded on scale from 1 to 6. The eye irritancy was scored at 1, 4, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after exposure for cornea, iris and conjunctivae using the standard scores.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In the rabbit eye irritancy test, 0.1 mL of the test material caused no irritation. On administration of the test material there was no initial pain response.
Executive summary:

Six adult albino rabbits were used to evaluate eye irritating properties of BPFDGE when instilled in eye. The test substance (0.1 ml undiluted) was instilled in the conjunctiva sac of one eye. Irritation and injury to the cornea, iris, and conjunctiva were scored at 1, 24, 48, 72 hr and 7 days after the initial exposure. Based on the findings from this study, BPFDGE is not an eye irritant.
