Executive summary:

Method

The substance was tested for eye irritation according to "Hazardous Substances Regulations" under the U.S.A. Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Sect. 191.12 (February 1965).

Results

The eyes of the experimental animals were examined and found normal prior to the test. 100 mg of the test compound were instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The eyelids were then held closed for 1 second. . The right eye served as a control. After 30 seconds the compound was, as far as possible, flushed out of the eyes of three of the rabbits with warm water for 1 minute. The rabbits were examined 1, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test compound and for any further period that was considered necessary. A slight to mild conjunctival reaction was seen in all treated eyes one hour after application of the compound. All eyes were normal by 48 hours (washed) and 72 hours (unwashed).

Results

Non irritant.
