TREATMENT METHOD
- 0.1 g of the test material was applied to the conjunctival sac of right eye of each rabbit. The lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test material. No washing to eyes was taken for 24 hours after application.

OBSERVATIONS
- Eye irritation was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test material application. The degree of irritation was scored according to the procedure of the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals. Animals were observed daily for mortality and signs of morbidity. Survival animals were euthanatised after observation period.

Other effects:
Individual eye irritation scores are presented in Table 1. No abnormal clinical signs were observed during the whole study period. No delayed damnification was observed for all animals. The highest mean eye irritation score in the first 4 days (mean of sum of the scores from cornea, iris and conjunctivae) was 2.5 and the score was 0 at 48 hours. All controls scored 0. Based on these results and the irritation grading criteria in the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, the test article is light irritating to eye (the grade is 3).

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, based on the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals the test material is light irritating to eye (the grade is 3).
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test material was investigated in accordance with the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals Section 4; Health Effects (ministry of environmental protection of People's Republic of China). 0.1 g of test material was administered into the conjunctival sac of right eye of four healthy rabbits with eye lids gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test material. The left eye was used as control for evaluation of eye irritation. No washing to eyes was taken for 24 hours after application. Eye irritation was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test material application. The degree of irritation was scored according to the procedure of the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals. Animals were observed daily for mortality and signs of morbidity; surviving animals were euthanatised after the observation period. Under the conditions of this study the highest mean eye irritation score in the first 4 days was 2.5 and the score was 0 at 48h. Based on the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, the test material is 'lightly' irritating to the eye (the grade is 3).

Additional information

Skin Irritation (in vivo)

The skin irritation potential of the test material was investigated in accordance with the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals Section 4; Health Effects (ministry of environmental protection of People's Republic of China). The test material was administered to a 2 x 3 cm2 area on the scapular to lumbar region of the back that had been shaved on the previous day. The application sites were covered with two layers of polyethylene sheet, secured with adhesive tape. After 4 hours, coverings were removed and the application sites were rinsed completely with warm water. Animals were observed continually for 14 days. Skin irritation was evaluated at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patches were removed from the sites. Animals were observed daily for mortality and signs of morbidity. No abnormal clinical signs were observed during the whole study period. The mean skin irritation score was 0. Under the conditions of this study, the test material was considered to be non-irritating to the skin.

Eye Irritation (in vivo)

The eye irritation potential of the test material was investigated in accordance with the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals Section 4; Health Effects (ministry of environmental protection of People's Republic of China). 0.1 g of test material was administered into the conjunctival sac of right eye of four healthy rabbits with eye lids gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test material. The left eye was used as control for evaluation of eye irritation. No washing to eyes was taken for 24 hours after application. Eye irritation was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test material application. The degree of irritation was scored according to the procedure of the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals. Animals were observed daily for mortality and signs of morbidity; surviving animals were euthanised after the observation period. Under the conditions of this study the highest mean eye irritation score in the first 4 days was 2.5 and the score was 0 at 48 hours. Based on the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, the test material is 'lightly' irritating to the eye (the grade is 3).

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to irritation to skin or eyes.
