Evaluation
Evaluation covered pathological findings in the cornea (degree of opacity and area •affected), iris and conjunctivae (reddening, swelling and discharge). Evaluation details were based on the key given below, which was used to determine the irritation score.

Assessment key
From : The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, FDA, 1959, p.51 (see below)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the substance is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

100 mg of the test item was applied once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three rabbits. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control.

The treated eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance.

No irritant effects were observed, hence the test substance is considered to be not irritating to the eye.
