Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: conjunctival sac of one eye of six rabbits

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done):
No data
- Time after start of exposure:
No data

SCORING SYSTEM: Scores were based on the degree or extent of opacity on the cornea, the redness on the iris and the chemosis and discharge on the conjunctiva, using a standard scale at intervals of 1, 24, 48 and 72 h or until all irritation resolves. More emphasis was placed on the opacity of the cornea, which was given a maximum score of 80. Conjunctival changes had a maximum score of 20 and iritis had maximum score of 10. The total maximum score was 110.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: No detailed data is available

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test chemical was considered to be Slightly irritating to the eyes of six rabbits and hence it is likely to classify as an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

Draize eye irritation test was carried out for test chemical to assess the degree of eye irritation caused by the chemical. In this study, 100 mg test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye each of six rabbits. The other eye served as a control. The eyelid was held shut for a few seconds and released. Washing, when indicated, occurred within 20–30 s of exposure and consisted of flooding the eye with large amounts of water for 1 min. Scores were based on the degree or extent of opacity on the cornea, the redness on the iris and the chemosis and discharge on the conjunctiva, using a standard scale at intervals of 1, 24, 48 and 72 h or until all irritation resolves. More emphasis was placed on the opacity of the cornea, which was given a maximum score of 80. Conjunctival changes had a maximum score of 20 and iritis had maximum score of 10. The total maximum score was 110. The chemical induced slight eye irritation in treated rabbits after 24 hours. Hence the test chemical was considered to be slightly irritating to the eyes of six rabbits and hence it is likely to classify as an eye irritant.
