- Concentration: Undiluted

VEHICLE
-none
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Not applicable: single application not followed by rinsing.
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes were examined for any ocular reaction approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after the treatment.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Two
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: No

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Draize scale for scoring ocular Irritation (Draize J H (1977) "Dermal and Eye Toxicity Tests" In: Principles and Procedures for Evaluating the Toxicity of Household Substances, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC p.48 to 49).

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 or iridial effects were noted during the study.
- Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in both the animals 1 and 24 hours after treatment and in one animal at the 48 hour observation. However, these effects were reversible within 48 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the other animal.


Other effects:
No bodyweight gain was noted in one animal and the other animal showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance produced minimal conjunctival irritation when applied into rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

The potential of the test item to induce eye irritation was assessed in rabbits according to OECD Guideline 404 in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice.

A volume of 0.1 mL of the test substance was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of two New Zealand White rabbits without irrigation. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment according to the Draize scoring method.

No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Minimal conjunctival irritation was seen in both animals 1 and 24 hours after treatment and in one animal at the 48 hour observation. These effects were reversible within 48 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the other.

It was concluded that the test item produced minimal conjunctival irritation when applied into rabbit eye.
