Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Dermal Toxicity - J. H. Draize, Ph. D. , Chief, Skin Toxicity Branch. Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, Association of the Food and Drug Officials of the United States. pp. 46-59, 1959.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
One hundred milligrams of undiluted test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of six test animals. The right eyes were not washed; the left eyes served as a controls. At 24 hour consecutive intervals examinations were made of the cornea, the iris and the conjunctiva and grades were recorded according to a standard Draize scoring system.

no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test article is not an ocular irritant.
Executive summary:

In an in vivo study performed in the pre-GLP and pre-OECD guideline era, the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of six albino rabbits to assess its irritating potential. The eyes were not rinsed and the animals were examined for occular reactions at 24 hour consecutive intervals for three days. Cornea, the iris and the conjunctiva of each animal were examined for irritation and grades were recorded according to a standard Draize scoring system. No discernible effects in the eyes of the rabbits tested could be observed. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be not irritating to the rabbit eye under the conditions presented.
