Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: approx. 100mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single exposure
6 rabbits: test material was not removed
3 rabbits: treated eyes were washed after 30 seconds for 1 minute with gently flowing tepid tap water (1000 mL/minute)
Observation period (in vivo):
The treated eyes were examined at one, two, three, four and seven days following instillation of the test material into the eyes.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
9
Details on study design:
A 100 mg portion of the experimental material was instilled into the right eyes of the test animals while the other eyes remained untreated to serve as controls. The first six rabbits did not have their eyes washed subsequent to instillation. The remaining three rabbits had the treated eyes washed after 30 seconds for 1 minute with gently flowing tepid tap water (1000 mL/minute).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The subject material does not appear to be an ocular irritant in the unwashed eye.
Executive summary:

The New Zealand White rabbit, weighing 2 .0 - 3 .0 kg and approximately 9- 10 weeks of age, was used for this study.

A 100 mg portion of the experimental material was instilled into the right eyes of the test animals while the other eyes remained untreated to serve as controls. The first six rabbits did not have their eyes washed subsequent to instillation. The remaining three rabbits had the treated eyes washed after 30 seconds for 1 minute with gently flowing tepid tap water (1000 mL/minute).

The treated eyes were examined at one, two, three, four and seven days following instillation of the test material into the eyes. The readings of the eyes were made in accordance with the Draize technique for scoring ocular lesions.
