- Humidity (%): 34-65%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12-hour light/dark cycle

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The contralateral eye served as a control.
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.1 mL
- Concentration: undiluted

Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
3 days (reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after the instillation)
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three rabbits (2 males - 1 female)
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing:The treated and control eye of each rabbit were washed with saline following the 24 hour observation interval for approximately one minute.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

SCORING SYSTEM:
According to OECD 405 scoring system

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Observations were performed using a Mini-Maglite(c) flash light equipped with a high intensity bulb

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Under the experimental conditions employed the test item induced reactions of the iris and conjunctiva when instilled into the conjunctival sac of albino rabbits eyes. The values of the readings 24 h to 72 hours after instillation are below the threshold of significance.
