- Housing: individually housed in suspended metal cages; with environment enrichment
- Diet: certified rabbit food ad libitum
- Water: mains water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17 - 23
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/12 hour dark

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL
- Concentration (if solution): undiluted

Duration of treatment / exposure:

A volume of 0.1 mL of the test material, was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test material, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes.

Observation period (in vivo):

Ocular assessment was conducted at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test substance, according to numerical evaluation.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 (2 m/ 1 f). Testing was conducted sequentially.

Details on study design:

The study was performed in a stepwise manner and was started by treatment of a single rabbit. The other animals were treated in a similar manner after considering the degree of eye irritation observed in the first and/or second animal.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): none

SCORING SYSTEM:
The irritation was assessed according to Draize (1977) numerical scoring system. At each observation period, the highest scores given were recorded. Any other ocular effects were also noted.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

No corneal effects were noted. Iridial inflammation was noted in one treated eye 1 hour and 24 hours after treatment, respectively. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in treated eyes 1 and 24 hours after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 48 and 72 Hour observations. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 7-day observation.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the test material is not irritating to the eye.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to OECD TG 405 and EU Method B.5 to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye following a single application in the New Zealand White rabbit. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three animals. The other eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. The test was conducted in a stepwise manner conducted singularly. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment. Further observation was made at 7-days. A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced no corneal effects. Iridial inflammation was noted in one treated eye 1 hour and 24 hours after treatment, respectively. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in treated eyes 1 and 24 hours after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 48 and 72 Hour observations. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 7-day observation. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to the eye.
