Irritant / corrosive response data:
Faint green-coloured staining over the nictitating membrane was commonly noted in the treated eye. Residual test material was noted around the treated eye during the study.

Areas of diffuse corneal opacity were noted in the treated eye one hour after treatment with areas of translucent corneal opacity at the 24-hour observation. Opalescent opacity was noted on the lower region of the cornea with translucent corneal opacity over the remaining area at the 48 and 72-hour observations.

Severe conjunctival irritation was noted in the treated eye one hour after treatment and at the 24, 48 and 72-hour observations. Other adverse reactions noted were haemorrhage over a small area of the nictitating membrane and a pale appearance of the nictitating membrane.


Due to the severity of the ocular reactions the animal was killed for humane reasons immediately after the 72-hour observation. No further animals were treated.
Other effects:
no other effects reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
mean scores of animal # 1:

Cornea: 2.7
Iris: 1.0
Conjunctivae
redness: 2.7
chemosis: 3.0

Executive summary:

The substance was tested for eye irritation according to OECD guideline 405. In the conjunctival sac of the right eye of one New Zealand White rabbit 0.1 ml of the test material was placed. Severe conjunctival irritation was noted.
