Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study T-4388 is not irritanting to rabbit eyes. As per EU classification this test material does not need be classified.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of a test material, T-4388 (Colorless liquid) was investigated in New Zealand White rabbits. Two male and one female nulliparous and non-pregnant young adult New Zealand white rabbits were used , which were supplied by Cheshire Rabbit Farms Limited,Duddon Lodge, Tarporley,Cheshire.

                                                                                                                

The rabbits were housed individually in aluminum cages with grid floors beneath which were peat moss filled trays. The rabbits were allowed an acclimatization period of 7 days. Mean environmental maximum and minimum temperatures were both 17°C maintained in rabbit rooms with relative humidity 51% and photoperiod of 12 hrs dark / 12 hrs light.

The rabbit was held firmly but gently and the test material 0.1 ml placed into right eye by gently pulling the lower eyelid away from the eyeball to form a sac into which test material was dropped. The lids were then gently held together for one or two seconds and observed up to 48 hours after instillation for signs of severe irritation. As none were noted, remaining 2 rabbits were treated. The other eye rabbit served as a control. The eyes were examined for irritation by using 420/5.5× Panoramic Loupe ( Keeler, U. K. ) and Pen torch (Pifco ) and ocular reactions were recorded 1, 24, 48, 72 hour after instillation.

Slight conjunctival redness, slight chemosis and a slight discharge were noted in 1 h post instillation. All responses were reversible by 24 h. No corneal and iridial responses were noted.

Based on the results of this study T-4388 is slightly irritating to rabbit eyes but this is quickly reversible. As per EU classification this test material is practically non irritating when tested on rabbit eyes.
