SCORING SYSTEM
The eyes of each animal were examined 1-, 24-, 48- and 72 hours after administration. The irritation was assessed according to the OECD Guidelines for testing of Chemicals, Section 4, number 405 "Acute Eye Irritatian/Carrosion" adopted May 12, 1981.
The corrosive properties of the test article and the color of the treated eye were described and recorded.
CORNEAL IRRITATION
Opacity: degree of density (densest area used for assessment)
No ulceration or opacity 0
Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal luster), details of iris clearly visible 1
Easily discernible translucent area 1 details of iris slightly obscured 2
Nacrous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible 3
Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity 4
IRIDIC IRRITATION
Normal 0
Markedly deepened rugaeI, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperemia, or injection, any of these or combination thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive) 1
No reaction to light, hemorrhage, gross destruction (any or all of these) 2
CONJUNCTIVAL IRRITATION
Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae, cornea and iris).
Blood vessels normal 0
Some blood vessels definitely hyperemic (injected) 1
Diffuse, crimson color, individual vessels not easily discernible 2
Diffuse beefy red 3
Chemosis: lids and/or nictating membranes
No swelling 0
Any swelling above normal (includes nictating membranes) 1
Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids 2
Swelling with lids about half closed 3
Swelling with lids more than half closed 4

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the possible irritation potential when single doses of test item are placed in the conjunctival sac of rabbit eyes. The experiment was conducted in accordance with the method and procedures described into the OECD guideline 404.
Under the conditions of the experiment the substance was found to cause a primary irritation score of 1.2 when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.
In the area of application an orange discoloration of the conjunctivae was observed, which could be related to effects of the test article.
No corrosion was observed at each of the measuring intervals.
Conclusion
The mean values from gradings at 24, 48 and 72 hours were lower than 1 for corneal opacity, lower than 1 for iritis, lower than 2 for both conjunctival redness and oedema, in all of the three tested animals.
Therefore, the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified as eye irritating, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
