The fluorescein test performed twenty-four hours after instillation revealed corneal staining in animal no. 3 (up to 1/4 of the surface). Conjunctival redness (grade 1) was observed in all animals 60 minutes, in animals nos. 2 and 3 until twenty-four hours after instillation. The irises were not affected by instillation of the test item.
- Other effects:
- There were no systemic intolerance reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the result of the study the substance was not irritating when tested on rabbit eye.
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study (OECD 405), 0.1 g of the test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of three young adult Himalayan rabbits. Animals were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. The behaviour and physical state of the rabbits, and the body-weight evolution were normal throughout the study. Only very mild conjunctival and corneal opacity reactions were observed, which were fully reversible within 72 hours. Based on the results, the test item can be considered as not irritating.
