Irritant / corrosive response data:
Under the present test conditions a single administration of 100 mg FeNaEDTA per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused the following effects:
Corneal opacity (grad 1) was observed in animal no. three 24 hours to 6 days after instillation.
The fluorescein test performed 24 hours after instillation revealed corneal staining in animal no. 3 (up to 1/4 of the surface).
Conjunctival redness (grad 1) was observed in animal no. one 60 minutes, in animal no. two 60 minutes to 48 hours and in animal no. three 24 hours to 4 days after instillation.
In addition, secretion was observed in all 3 animals 1 hour after instillation.
The irises were not affected by instillation of the test item.
There were no systemic intolerance reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Although the test item induced slight irritation, no classification is needed according to OECD-GHS.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study with three male Himalyan rabbits according to OECD guideline 405 and GLP was performed.

A single administration of 100 mg FeNaEDTA per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused the following effects:

Corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in animal no. three 24 hours to 6 days after instillation.

The fluorescein test performed 24 hours after instillation revealed corneal staining in animal no. 3 (up to 1/4 of the surface).

Conjunctival redness(grade 1) was observed in animal no. one 60 minutes, in animal no. two 60 minutes to 48 hours and in animal no. three 24 hours to 4 days after instillation. In addition, secretion was observed in all 3 animals 1 hour after instillation.

Irises were not affected by instillation of the test item.

There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
