The eyes were examined and graded for ocular reaction at 24, 48, and 72 hours following instillation of test material into the eyes
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
12 rabbits (three males and three females per group)
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no washing
- Time after start of exposure: not applicable

SCORING SYSTEM: Interpretation of the results was made in accordance with the Draize technique for scoring ocular lesions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Eye Dam. 1, H318 according to Regulation(EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
CLP: Eye Dam. 1, H318
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 mL of undiluted test substance or 50% in mineral oil was placed into one eye of each of the New Zealand White rabbits. The test substance produced serious eye damage up to 72 hours when tested as supplied and was not an ocular irritant when tested as a 50% formulation in mineral oil.
