- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Conjunctival redness (grade 2) was noted in four rabbits at 1 hour post instillation and persisted in one rabbit to 24 hours. The redness reversed by 48 hours. No corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctival chemosis, or discharge was noted in any of the six rabbits.
- Other effects:
- No effects.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The initial protocol did not include provision for 21-day observation, but it was not necessary as all irritation reversed by 48 hours after instillation, which is acceptable per current protocols.
The test substance was not irritating to the eyes according to the criteria of the EU and the GHS.
