The control eyes were without findings.
A single application of 0.1 ml of the test item into the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye led to slight to moderate secretion, reddening and swelling of the outer eyelids and eyelid closure mainly on days 1-2. Additionally, reddening and swelling of the conjunctivae were observed which were slight to moderate up to day 2, while slight conjunctival reddening and/or vascular injection were observed up to day 7. One animal was without findings on day 2, while the other animals were without findings on days 7 or 8.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In a local tolerance test on the rabbit eye similar to OECD TG 405 a single application of the test substance into the conjunctival sac provoked on the whole slight irritation which lasted up to day 7. The mean values of findings relevant for classification at the time-points 24, 48 and 72 hours after application were 0 for the parameters cornea, iris and conjunctival swelling. With regard to conjunctival reddening 2/4 animals showed a mean score of 1 and 1.33 .
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study similar to OECD TG 405, 0.1 mL corresponding to 63-64 mg of D-ET-Dienon was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of young adult female and male New Zealand White rabbits (2/sex) and the animals were observed for 8 daysThe eyes were not washed. Irritation was scored by the method described in the guideline.
A single application of the test substance into the conjunctival sac provoked on the whole slight irritation which lasted up to day 7. The mean values of findings relevant for classification at the time-points 24, 48 and 72 hours after application were 0 for the parameters cornea, iris and conjunctival swelling. With regard to conjunctival reddening 2/4 animals showed a mean score of 1 and 1.33. In this study, the test item is not an eye irritant.
