Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test item, SR-365C showed irreversible signs of eye irritation (mis-shaped cornea and no reversible scores within 7 days) therefore the test item is classified as “R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes”, according to the Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and ‘Category 1’ according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, one healthy female rabbit of the New Zealand White strain was exposed to 0.1 mL of undiluted test item SR-365C in their left eye while the right eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyelids were then gently held together for about one second to avoid any loss of test item. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1 h and Days 1, 2, 3 and 7 after treatment and graded according to the method of OECD Guideline 405.

Corneal opacity, iritis and moderate conjunctival irritation persisted through Day 7 with apparition of mis-shaped cornea and no sign of reversibility. There were no abnormal physical signs noted during the observation period. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for one animal was 2.3, 1.0, 2.7 and 3.0 for cornea, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis, respectively. In this study, test item, SR-365C is considered to show irreversible signs of eye irritation on female rabbit.

Under the test conditions, test item, SR-365C showed irreversible signs of eye irritation (mis-shaped cornea and no reversible scores within 7 days) therefore the test item is classified as “R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes”, according to the Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and ‘Category 1’ according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008.
