Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Based on the results of this study, conducted in accordance with OECD 405 and GLP, the aqueous solution of the test material (solid content 50%) is classified as Irritating to eyes (Category 2) according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.

Executive summary:

The test material was tested as an aqueous solution at 50% solids for acute ocular irritation in 3 female New-Zealand White rabbits, according to OECD 405 / EC method B.5, and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice. The test material, was instillated as such in a single dose of 0.1 ml into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. The eyes were not rinsed. Ocular examinations were performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the instillation. Slight corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed at 1 hour after instillation in one animal, then between day 1 and 7 in all animals (grade 1 or 2). Iris inflammation (grade 1) was only noted at 1 hour. The mean scores (24-48-72 hours) calculated for each animal were 1.0 - 1.3 - 1.3 for corneal opacity, and 0.0 - 0.0 - 0.0 for iritis. Conjunctival redness and chemosis (grades 2 or 3) was observed in all three animals at 1 hour after instillation, and persisted until 72 hours (grade 1 or 2). These reactions were no longer present at day 7. The mean scores (24-48-72 hours) calculated for each animal were 1.3 - 1.7 - 2.0 for conjunctival redness, and 1.0 - 1.3 - 1.0 for chemosis.

The test material (solid content 50%) is classified as irritating to eyes (Category 2) according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation.
