Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival discharge of grade 1 (any amount different from normal) and grade 2 (discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids) was observed in all animals at the 1 h-reading time point. At the 72 h-reading time point discharge was no longer noted except one male rabbit.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this eye irritation study in the rabbit, the test item caused mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 h after test substance instillation of ≥ 1 for corneal opacity and of ≥ 2 for conjunctival redness in 4 out of 6 tested animals and is therefore considered as irritating to eyes (Category 2, H319) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008. The effects were fully reversible within 8 days, at the latest.
