Details on study design:
- Method of administration
Each animal was immobilised in a restraining box. The test article was administered into the inferior conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of the rabbits, the left eye serving as control. The lower and upper eyelids were held in contact for a few seconds to prevent loss of the test item. To prevent rubbing of the eye, the animals were kept in restraining boxes for about 1 h after treatment. They were then returned to their individual cages.

- Duration of treatment
After 24 h, the possible presence of corneal erosion was demonstrated uding flourescein which was eliminated with lukewarm tap water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
With reference the reported scores andreversibility of effects within 14 days N,Nā€™-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)isophthalamide has to be classified as irritant to the eyes (H 319) according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

N,Nā€™-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)isophthalamide was tested for its eye irritant properties in 3 New Zealand White rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 405.

Effects on conjunctivae (redness and swelling), as well as iris congestion and cornea opacity were observed in all animals one hour after application. These signs were fully reversible within 14 days.

With reference the reported scores andreversibility of effects within 14 days N,Nā€™-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)isophthalamide has to be classified as irritant to the eyes (H 319) according to the criteria laid down in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
