Any other information on results incl. tables

Undiluted substance – Corneal effects noted in at least one animal within 3 hours of exposure, increasing to a maximum after 6 days. Some recovery apparent after 13 days but full reversibility not apparent within 28 days. Iris effects first noted 48 hours after exposure with full recovery apparent within 24 days. Marked chemosis observed within 1 hour of exposure, reaching a maximum (score) after 2 hours. Severity of response decreased with time and recovery apparent 17 days after exposure. Conjunctival reaction noted in at least one animal within 1 hour of exposure, response reaching its greatest after 24 hours. Full recovery occurred within 25 days.

 

10% concentration in olive oil – Corneal effects noted in at least one animal within 3 hours of exposure, increasing in incidence/severity to its highest level 5 days after exposure. Full recovery apparent after 11 days. Iris effects first noted 24 hours after exposure with full recovery not apparent within 28 days. Marked chemosis observed within 1 hour of exposure, reaching a near maximum (score) after 2 hours. Severity of response decreased with time and recovery apparent 9 days after exposure. Conjunctival reaction noted in at least one animal within 1 hour of exposure, response reaching its greatest after 72 hours. Full recovery occurred within 11 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The undiluted substance is highly irritating to the eye with effects not fully reversible within 28 days of exposure
Executive summary:

Eye irritation has been assessed in the rabbit using methods essentially similar to those described by OECD/EU test guidelines. The severity of response and lack of full reversibility was such that the substance was judged to be highly irritating/corrosive to the eye.
