Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctiva.
A very slight to slight reaction was seen in all treated eyes one hour after the application of the compound. There was very little change by 24 hours. These had returned to normal as follows: 48 hours (one washed eye), 72 hours (one unwashed and 2 washed eyes) and 6 days (2 unwashed eyes).
Cornea.
Slight opacity with damage to the surface epithelium was seen in all treated eyes at one hour. This was still present in the 3 unwashed and one washed eye at 24 hours. These had returned to normal as follows: 48 hours (one washed eye), 72 hours (2 unwashed eyes) and 6 days (one unwashed eye).

Generally, washed eyes tended to show a slightly less severe reaction than unwashed eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is a minimal eye irritant but based on the results, there is no indication for an irritating effect based on GHS.
Executive summary:

In the eye irritation test, similar to OECD 405, male and female New Zealand White rabbits were treated with the test substance as such.

Five male and one female were singly housed.

After the test substance was applied to one eye, the lid was closed for 1 second and left open for 30 seconds. Afterwards, the eye was washed with warm water and observed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. The right eye of each animal seved as control.

The slight reactions were reversible within 24 hours after application. Generally, washed eyes tended to show a slightly less severe reaction than unwashed eyes.

The test substance is not considered to be eye irritant to rabbits.
