Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Category 2 (eye irritant) according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/08

Conclusions:

The test item was found to be irritating when applied to the rabbit eye.

Executive summary:

The potential for the test item to induce eye irritation or serious damage was evaluated in an experimental study, according to a method similar to the OECD Guideline 405. Three male rabbits were administered 100 mg of unchanged test item to one eye for a duration of 24 hours; the untreated eye served as a negative control. Corneal opacity, iritis, conjunctival redness and chemosis were evaluated 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and 21 days after application of the test item.

The cornea and iris scores (mean values 24/48/72) were 1 in all animals. The mean values 24/48/72 h for conjunctivae for redness were 2.33 in two animals (#1 and #2) and 2.67 in one animal (#3); for chemosis were 2.33 in animal #1, 3.33 in animal #2 and 3 in animal #3. All effects observed were fully reversible within the 21-day observation period.
