Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of the registration substance was evaluated in the New Zealand albino rabbit according to OECD test guideline 405. Only animals without ocular abnormalities were used for the study. o.1 mL of undiluted test material was applied once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three rabbits. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control. The exposure period was 24 hours. 24 hours after instillation and at all the designated examination times at which a corneal examination with fluorescein sodium solution took place, the treated eyes were washed out thoroughly with isotonic saline at approx. 37°C. The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours as well as 7, 10 and 14 days after application of the test substance. At 24 and 72 hours the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV light after instillation of one drop of 0.01% fluorescein-sodium solution. The instillation of the test material into the eye resulted in mild to moderate, early-onset and transient ocular changes, such as corneal opacity, reddening of the conjunctivae and sclerae, discharge and chemosis. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 7 days after treatment. The individual mean scores for corneal opacity was 0.67 for all three animals. The individual mean scores for the conjunctivae were 2.00 for reddening and 0.67, 0.33 and 0.67 for chemosis for each of the three animals. No abnormal findings were observed in the iris of any animal at any of the examinations. No corrosion was observed at any of the measuring intervals. White test item remnants were evident in the eye or conjunctival sac of one female 1 hour after instillation. No staining of the treated eyes by the test item was observed and no clinical signs were observed. Based on the findings and in accordance with the classification criteria of Directive 67/548 EEC (DSD), the registration substance is considered to be "not irritating" to the rabbit eye. However, based on the criteria of Directive (EC) 1272/2008 (GHS-CLP) the registration substance should be considered to be "mildly irritating to eyes" (category 2B).
