Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: yes, 10 ml lukewarm water
- Time after start of exposure: 30 seconds

SCORING SYSTEM:
Cornea: opacity-degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
0 No opacity
1 Scattered or diffuse area, details of iris clearly visible
2 Easily discernible translucent areas, details of iris slightly obscured
3 Opalescent areas, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 Opaque, iris invisible

Iris
0 Normal
1 Folds above normal, congestion, swelling, circumcorneal injection (any or all of these or combination of any thereof) iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive)
2 No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these)

Conjunctivae
Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris)
0 Vessels normal
1 Vessels definitely injected above normal
2 More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 Diffuse beefy red

Chemosis
0 No swelling
1 Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane)
2 Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids
3 Swelling with lids about half closed
4 Swelling with lids about half closed to completely closed

Discharge
0 No discharge
1 Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed in inner canthus of normal animals)
2 Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adj acent to lids
3 Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritant according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Not irritant to eye of rabbits.
Executive summary:

Method

Eye irritation potential of test substance was assessed by introducing 0.1 g of test substance into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 6 rabbits. The right eye served as control. The treated eyes were rinsed with lukewarm water ca. 30 seconds after treatment. Reactions were appraised with a slit-lamp after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 days.

Results

No signs of irritation of cornea and iris were noted. Irritation of conjunctivae was scored as a global score including redness, chemosis, and discharge. In 5/6 rabbits, irritation signs were found to disappear with 48 h; in 1/6 rabbits, full recovery occurred within 7 days.
