Irritant / corrosive response data:
Moderate conjunctival irritation was reported in  all animals one  hour after treatment with minimal to moderate  conjunctival irritation at the 24 hour observation time. At 48 hours minimal conjunctival redness was observed in one animal only. All scores were 0 at 72 hours.
Other effects:
None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Kalcol is not classifiable as an eye irritant according to EU or GHS criteria.

Executive summary:

In the eye irritation study, single instillation of 0.1 ml of solid test material was performed into one eye of 1 female and 3 male rabbits. No washing was performed after exposure. The untreated eye was used as negative control. The test area was examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-application. Draize scoring system was used to evaluate the eye irritation response.

Moderate conjuctival irritation was observed in all animals 1 hour post-application. At 24 hours, mild to moderate conjuctival redness was observed and by 72 hours post-treatment the redness was not evident. The study reports the test material to be not irritating to eye. The study was conducted according to an appropriate OECd test guideline, and in compliance with GLP.
