SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
CORNEA
Degree of turbidity (reading in the area of ​​the strongest turbidity)
0 No turbidity, no ulceration
1* Turbidity on individual scattered districts, details of the iris clearly visible
2* Easily recognizable translucent regions of turbidity, details of iris slightly darkened
3* Turbidity of pearly-like appearance, no details of the iris can be seen, size of the pupil barely visible
4* Complete corneal opacity, iris not visible
IRIS
1* Conspicuously deep retracted folds, hyperemia, swelling, circumcorneal vascular symptoms (one of these symptoms or combinations of them), iris still responds to light (slow response = positive)
2* No reaction to light, bleeding, destruction of iris (some or all symptoms)
CONJUNCTIVA
redness
0 Vessels normal
1 Vessels clearly injected (hyperemia)
2* Diffuse ruby ​​redness, single vessels not easy to distinguish
3* Diffuse fleshy redness
chemosis
0 No swelling
1 Slight swelling (including throat)
2* Distinct swelling, partial lifting of the lid
3* Swelling, with eyelids half-closed
4* Swelling, eyelids being closed more than half to full

* means positive effect

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: UV-light, fluorescein (0.01 %) and slit-lamp

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The substance is considered as not irritant to the eye of rabbits.
Executive summary:

Method

Test substance was applied to rabbit eye according to OECD guideline 405. After 24 h exposure, observations were done at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after eye rinse.

Results

2 of 3 rabbits showed vessels clearly injected (hyperemia) 24 h after eye rinse. However, such effects were reversible within 48 hours. Consequently, test substance was considered as non irritant to rabbit eyes.
