Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal opacity and no iridial responses occurred during the study. Chemosis was only observed in one animal at one hour after test item application. Conjunctival redness was detected in every animal one hour after application (max. score 2) and in two animals 24 hours after application (max. score 1). This effect was fully reversible in all animals 48 h after application.

Other effects:
Transparent discharge, yellow coloured from test substance, was observed in two animals one hour after application but not at later time points.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP regulation
Conclusions:
The test material caused no corneal or iridial effects under the conditions tested, slight chemosis and conjunctival redness were fully reversible within 48 hours. The test material has not to be classified as irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

An Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Test was performed in three rabbits according to OECD TG 405. Neither corneal effects nor iridial responses occurred during the study. Chemosis was only observed in one animal at one hour after test item application. Conjunctival redness was detected in every animal one hour after application and in two animals 24 hours after application. This effect was fully reversible in all animals 48 h after application.
