Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-oxopiperidinooxy instilled into the eyes of three rabbits resulted in mild to moderate conjunctival irritation, diffuse corneal
opacity and iridial inflammation. All effects cleared by 48 or 72 hours. The test material was mildly irritating according to the Kay and Calandra
classification system. It was not classified as irritating by OECD GHS standards.
Executive summary:

A GLP study was performed in accordance with OECD guideline 405, to assess the effect of 2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-4 -oxopiperindinooxy when administered to the eye.

 A single dose of 0.1 ml of test material was applied to the right eye of three New Zealand white rabbits. Assessment of the animals was made at 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment.

The test material produced a maximum group mean score of 8.7 and was classified as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye using a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

No classification with respect to eye irritancy is required.
