Irritant / corrosive response data:
Corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in animal #3, 24 hours after instillation. Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in animal #2, 1 hour after instillation. Conjunctival chemosis (grade 1) was observed in animal #2, 1 hour after instillation. The iris was not affected by the test item.
All effects were reversible within 48 hours.
Other effects:
There were no systemic intolerance reactions observed throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test material caused no eye irritating/corrosive reactions. The individual mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 h were 0 - 0.33 for corneal opacity, 0 for iritis, 0 - 0.33 for chemosis and 0 - 0.33 for conjunctival redness. The observed effects were fully reversible within 48 h post-instillation.
