Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridal irritation was seen during the study. Blanching in the conjuctivae was seen in one animal at the 1-hour observation. All irritation had cleared by the 48-hour observation.
Other effects:
No pain response was elicited from any animal following instillation. One animal in Group I was found dead on day 5. No sign of ill health was observed during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean cornea, iris, conjuctivae scores (24 to 72 hours) were 0.0, 0.0, and 0.44, respectively. The test material is classified as not irritating to the eye according to EU criteria.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 mL of undiluted light paraffinic distillate solvent extract was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 9 white rabbits. Group I animal eyes remained unwashed, while Group II animal eyes were flushed with water for 1 minute, 20 to 30 seconds after instillation. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (1959).

 

The mean cornea, iris, conjuctivae scores (24 to 72 hours) were 0.0, 0.0, and 0.44, respectively. In this study, light paraffinic distillate solvent extract is not an eye irritant. The test material is classified as not irritating to the eye according to EU criteria. 

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it is conducted similar to OECD Test Guideline 405.
