Irritant / corrosive response data:
Ocular reactions observed during the study have been slight to moderate and totally reversible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the substance is classified as “R36 Irritating to eyes” according to Directive 67/548/EEC and "H319 Causes serious eye irritation" according to 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, 3 healthy female New Zealand White rabbits were instilled 0.1 mL of undiluted test item in one eye while the other 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. Eyes were examined and scored according to the method described in OECD Test Guideline 405 at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h post instillation, then on days 7, 14 and 21.

Ocular reactions were slight to moderate and totally reversible. In the conjunctivae, a slight redness was noted 1 h post instillation, turning into moderate redness at 24 h and that totally reversed between Days 2 and 21; it was associated with a slight chemosis noted 1 h post instillation that totally reversed between Days 3 and 14. In the iris, a congestion was noted 1 or 24 h post instillation in two animals that totally reversed between Days 2 and 7. In the cornea, moderate corneal opacity was noted 24 h post instillation that totally reversed between Days 7 and 14. A corneal neovascularisation was noted on Day 2 in one animal and was totally reversible on Day 14. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h post instillation for the 3 animals were 2.0, 2.0, 2.0 for cornea score; 0.0, 1.0, 0.3 for iris score; 1.0, 1.3, 0.7 for conjunctivae score and 1.0, 1.3, 0.7 for chemosis score. The test item was thus irritant for rabbit eye in this study.

Under the test conditions, the substance is classified as “R36 Irritating to eyes” according to Directive 67/548/EEC and "H319 Causes serious eye irritation" according to CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008.
