Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival irritation, identified by moderate redness, slight to moderate swelling and discharge, was noted in the 3 treated animals one hour after treatment. At the 24 hour observation all 3 rabbits showed moderate redness of the conjunctival membranes. The conjunctival irritation regressed and all eyes appeared normal on day 7.
No corneal opacity or iridtal inflarnmation was noted during the study period.
The hair adjacent to the eye was stained brown by the test article.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information slight effects not sufficient for classification Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material was a mild irritant to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritant effects of the test material on the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The protocol was designed to meet the requirements of Annex Vof the EEC Council Directive 79/831/EEC, the Organisatfon for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the HSE Approved Code of Practice Notification of New Substances Regulations 1982.

The instillation of 100 mg of solid Brown HH 469 produced positive eye effects in the conjunctivae of the 3 animals one and 24 hours after treatment. The test article was regarded as a mild irritant to the rabbit eye.
