Principles of method if other than guideline:
6 rabbits were exposed with 0.1 ml of the test item in the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The right eye was the untreated control. Animals were observed with a magnifying glass after 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 h after application. 24 h after application the eyes were washed with physiological NaCl solution. 48- and 72 h values were examined with additional instillation of sodium fluorescein (1:10 000). Scoring was carried our according to the method of Draize.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
According to this study, one of 6 animals shows irritant effects on the conjunctivae after 72 h. According to CLP criteria classification as serious eye damage - Cat. 1 is required when at least in one of 6 animals effects on cornea, iris or conjunctiva are not reversible within 21 days observation period. Since the observation period in this study is max. 72 h, it cannot be used for classification.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study according to FDA guidelines, 0.1 ml of the test item was instilled undiluted into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of young adult Himalaya Albino rabbits for 24 h. After 24 h the eyes were washed with physiological saline. Animals then were observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

All animals showed weak signs of irritation on the conjunctivae which were reversible within 72 h, except in one of six animals. According to CLP criteria classification as serious eye damage - Cat. 1 is required when at least in one of 6 animals effects on cornea, iris or conjunctiva are not reversible within 21 days observation period .

Since the observation period in this study is only 72 h, it cannot be used for classification.
