Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Animals were housed individually in stainless steel cages

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL of undiluted test material
Observation period (in vivo):
14 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
The test sample was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit, with the left eye serving as a control. The general technique followed that of the Draize method. At each scoring interval the cornea, iris and conjunctivae were examine dand graded for irritation and injury in accordance with the Draize scoring system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Substance is classiifed as H319 under GHS classification criteria
Executive summary:

The test sample was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit, with the left eye serving as a control.  The general technique followed that of the Draize method.  At each scoring interval the cornea, iris and conjunctivae were examine dand graded for irritation and injury in accordance with the Draize scoring system.  

Followoijgn gradings over 24, 48 and 72 hours the mean score for cornea opacity, Iritis, conjunctivae redness and swelling was 1.6, 0.41, 1.6 and 1.35, respectively. All effects were fully reversed by the end of the 14 day observation period. Based on the results of this study the test substance is considered to be an eye irritant under GHS classification criteria.
