Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Mild conjunctival inflammation was observed in each animal. It can be considered that 2.5% aqueous test chemical solution (buffered to pH 7) was not an ocular irritant
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in albino rabbits.

0.1 ml of 2.5% aqueous test chemical (buffered to pH 7) was instilled into the eyes of albino rabbits (N = 3) and the lids were held together for 1 second. At 10 seconds post-instillation, the eyes were rinsed with 20 mL of distilled water. Untreated eyes served as controls. Reactions were scored at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation.

Mild conjunctival inflammation was observed in each animal. It can be considered that 2.5% aqueous test chemical solution (buffered to pH 7) was not an ocular irritant
