Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category II
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According the study performed the test item is considered as irritant to New Zealand white Rabbits with full reversibility after 168 hours. The test item needs to be classified as eye irritation- category 2 according to the criteria defined in the ECHA guidance on the application of CLP criteria, 2009 (249-250) CLP regulation N°1272/2008. This is based on a score of 1 or greater for cornea opacity in 4 or more of 6 animals. According to the criteria of Directive 67/548/EEC and amendments the test item is not classified as irritant to eyes.
Executive summary:

0.1 ml of the test item was applied into the conjunctival sac of one eye in each of 6 New Zealand white rabbits. The eye reactions were scored after 24, 48, 72 and 168 h. All effects were fully reversible within the observation period with the exeption of corneal opacity in one animal that however showed signs of reversibility. Mild irritation effects were observed at grades that are borderline for classification. According to the ECHA guidance on application of CLP criteria, 2009 a classification as category 2 eye irritant (H319) is proposed based on the fact that 4 of 6 rabbits had cornea scores at or above 1 for the 24, 48, 72 h average. Based on Dir. 67/548/EEC however, no classification as eye irritant (R36) would be attributed.
