- Details on study design:
- PROCEDURE:
The test material in an amount of 0.1 g was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the 6 rabbits and the lids were gently closed for one second. The right eye was not treated and served as an untreated control.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE: In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of lukewarm water.
SCORING SYSTEM: The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. The primary eye irritation index represents the sum of the mean values for cornea, iris and conjunctivae. This procedure was carried out separately for unrinsed and rinsed eyes, respectively.

- No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these): 2
Ax5 Total maximum=10
3.Conjunctivae
(A) Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae excluding cornea and iris)
- Vessels normal: 0
- Vessels definitely injected above normal: 1
- More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible: 2
- Diffuse beefy red: 3
(B) Chemosis
- No swelling: 0
- Any swelling above normal (includes nictitating membrane): 1
- Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids: 2
- Swelling with lids about half closed: 3
- Swelling with lids about half closed to completely closed: 4
(C) Discharge'
- No discharge: 0
- Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed" in inner canthus of normal animals): 1
- Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids: 2
- Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs, and considerable area around the eye: 3

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be an non-irritant to rabbit eyes.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to assess the eye irritancy potential of the test substance in rabbits according to procedure "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (1959), the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). The test material in an amount of 0.1 g was inserted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the six rabbits. The eyelids were then held closed for 1 second. In 3 of the 6 rabbits approximately 30 seconds after treatment the treated eye was flushed with 10 ml of lukewarm water. The eye irritation was appraised with a slit-lamp on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 and was scored for each individual rabbit. In the present experiments the cornea, iris and conjunctivae scores were zero for rinsed eyes. Therefore, the test material was considered to be a non-irritant to rabbit eyes.
