Irritant / corrosive response data:
Scattered or diffuse corneal opacity was noted in all treated eyes at the 24, 48 and 72-hour and 7-day observations and in one treated eye at the 14-day observation. Vascularisation, with a localised ingrowth of vessels for approximately 3 mm, around half of the cornea was noted in one treated eye at the 14-day observation. On day 21, this effect was reversed. Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and at the 24-hour observation and in two treated eyes at the 48 and 72-hour observations.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and at the 24, 48 and 72-hour observations. Minimal conjunctival irritation noted in all treated eyes at the 7-day observation and persisted in one treated eye at the 14-day observation.
Two treated eyes appeared normal at the 14-day observation and the remaining treated eye appeared normal at the 21-day observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
An in vivo eye irritation study was performed according to OECD/ EC guidelines and GLP principles with 3 male rabbits. In summary, the test substance produced corneal opacity = 1 in all three animals, iritis = 1 in 2/3 animals, conjuctival redness = 2 in all three animals, which reversed in 14 days for 2 animals and in 21 days for one animal (mean of values at 24, 48 and 72 hours). Based on these results, the substance is classified Category 2 for eye irritation.
