Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item, applied to the rabbits' eye mucosa, caused slight to severe conjunctival irritant effects and in one case slight corneal alteration, which were fully reversible within one week.
Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation study of the test item was performed in three albino New Zealand White rabbits. The irritation effect of the test item was evaluated according to the Draize method (OECD No.: 405, 2002). The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal. The untreated right eye served as control. The treated eyes of the test animals were not washed out following the instillation of 0.1 g of the test item, administered in pure state, in single dose. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and one week after application.

One hour after the application of the test item into the eyes of rabbits moderate conjunctival redness, slight to moderate chemosis and moderate to severely increased discharge excretion. In one animal diffuse areas of opacity were observed on whole surface of cornea. Iris alterations were not recorded throughout the study.

72 hours after the application in two cases slight redness was found. In above mentioned animal the degree and extension of opacity density did not change to the previous observations. One animal became symptom-free at this time.

One week after treatment the study was terminated, as all animals were free of symptoms of irritation.

The general state and the behaviour of animals were normal throughout the study period. There were no notable body weight changes during the contact and observation period.

The animals’ individual mean scores (considering readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment) were as follows:

- cornea opacity: 1.00, 0.00, 0.00

- iris: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

- conjunctival redness: 1.67, 1.00, 1.33

- conjunctival chemosis: 1.00, 0.00, 0.00

- conjunctival discharge: 0.67, 0.00, 0.00

The test item, applied to the rabbits' eye mucosa, caused slight to severe conjunctival irritant effects and in one case slight corneal alteration, which were fully reversible within one week.
