Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: One eye of each animal remained untreated and served as the reference control.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amounts applied: Approx. 70 mg (equivalent to 0.1 mL)/animal - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Single instillation on Day 1.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test substance
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 females
- Details on study design:
- TREATMENT
- The test substance was instilled in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test substance. The other eye remained untreated and served as the reference control.
- Immediately after the 24 hours observation, a solution of 2% fluorescein in water (adjusted to pH 7.0) was applied to both eyes of each animal to quantitatively examine the potential for corneal injury. Any bright green stained area, indicating epithelial damage, was estimated as a percentage of the total corneal area.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
-Washing (if done): No
OBSERVATIONS
- Mortality/Viability: Daily
- Toxicity: Daily
- Body Weight: Day 1
- Necropsy: No
- Irritation:
The eyes of each animal were examined approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test substance.
The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded.The irritation was assessed according to OECD 405.
Where standard lighting was considered inadequate for observing minor effects, eye examinations were performed using a pocket flash light. In cases of equivocal results when comparing the treated and untreated eyes, the illustrated guide from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C. 20207 was used for additional control purposes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not irritating
- Remarks:
- According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
- Conclusions:
- Based on a performed in vivo eye irritation study, the substance does not need to be classified as irritating/corrosive to eyes in accordance with the CLP Regulation.
- Executive summary:
An in vivo eye irritation study was performed with the substance in accordance with OECD 405 (1987) and according to GLP principles. An amount of approximately 70 mg of MDI/CHA/ODA/DCHA was instilled in one of the eyes of 3 rabbits, followed by an observation period of 72 hours. Instillation of the test substance affected the conjunctivae of all 3 animals. The effects were reversible within 24 hours in 1 animal and within 72 hours in the other 2 animals. No corrosive effects and no clinical signs of toxicity were observed. Based on the results of the study, the substance does not need to be classified as irritating/corrosive to eyes in accordance with the CLP Regulation.
