Methods of the study performance
Twenty-four hrs prior to the application of the test material, the eyes of the rabbit were examined using 2% sodium fluorescein stain. Animals with preexisting corneal injury were removed from the study. The test substance was placed in the right eye of each animal by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball to form a cup. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for one second to prevent loss of material.
The treated eyes of six rabbits remained unwashed. The treated eyed of three rabbits were rinsed for one minute with lukewarm water immediately following administration of the test material. The contralateral eye remained untreated as served as a control.

The eye were examined at 24, 48, 72 hrs and 4 and 7 days after treatment.
Grading of irritation is according to the method of Draize, J.H, et al., Pharm, Exp. Ther.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material Terpenes and terpenoids, turpentine oil, alpha-pinene fraction oligomers was not an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

The study investigated the capability of Terpenes and terpenoids, turpentine oil, alpha-pinene fraction oligomers to induce eye irritation in 9 New Zealand rabbits.

The study design used is similar to the OECD 405 and it was performed under GLP conditions.

The test material was instilled in the right eye of the rabbits. The treated eyes of 6 rabbits remained unwashed. The treated eyes of 3 rabbits were rinsed for one minute with lukewarm water immediately following administration of the test article. One positive ocular reading was recorded at 24 hrs post administration. Only one positive response was observed during the course of the study. Based upon the observation made in the Primary Eye Irritation test, the test material is not considered an eye irritant.
