SCORING SYSTEM:
Irritation was scored according to the Draize scale (below):
> Cornea
Opacity: degree of density (area most dense is taken for reading).
0 = No ulceration or opacity
1 = Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (except for slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible
2 = Easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured
3 = Nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible
4 = Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity
> Conjunctivae
Redness: (refers to the most severe effect of palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae in comparison to the control eye)
0 = Blood vessels normal
1 = Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected)
2 = Diffuse crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible
3 = Diffuse beefy red
Chemosis: lids and/or nictating membranes
0 = No swelling
1 = Any swelling above normal (includes nictating membranes)
2 = Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids.
3 = Swelling with lids about half closed
4 = Swelling with lids more than half closed
Discharge
0 = No discharge
1 = Any amount different from normal (does not include small amounts observed in inner canthus of normal animals)
2 = Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just adjacent to lids
3 = Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs a considerable area around the eye
> Iris
0 = Normal
1 = Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia or injection; any of these or combination of any thereof, iris still reacting to light (sluggish reaction is positive)
2 = No reaction to light, haemorrhage, gross destruction (any or of all these)
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
Both eyes of the rabbits were examined with a binocular loupe and a white halogen light at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days post-instillation for conjunctival redness and chemosis, discharge, corneal opacity, and reddening of the iris. A cobalt blue light was used to assess the corneas of all rabbits following fluorescein stain application at various times during the study.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS
Rabbits were weighed on the day of treatment and study termination.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- One hour after dosing, all rabbits had slight conjunctival redness, moderate chemosis, and moderate discharge. Twenty-four hours after dosing, all rabbits had moderate to marked conjunctival redness, moderate chemosis, moderate to marked discharge, and slight corneal opacity. The two male rabbits also had slight irritation of the iris twenty-four hours after dosing. Forty-eight hours after dosing, all rabbits had moderate to marked conjunctival redness, slight to moderate chemosis, moderate to marked discharge, slight corneal opacity, and slight irritation of the iris. The ocular irritation slowly diminished over time. Corneal vascularisation was noted in all three animals starting on day 15 and continuing for one rabbit through day 36. Two rabbits had ocular irritation that continued through study termination.
- Other effects:
- All rabbits gained body weight over the duration of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the animals displayed moderate to marked signs of ocular irritation which lessened over time but effects on the cornea, conjunctiva and chemosis persisted to study termination 35 days post-instillation.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 405, EPA OPPTS 870.2400, EU Method B.5 and JMAFF (2000).
During the study aliquots of 0.1 g of neat test material in powder form were placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of one female and two male New Zealand White rabbits. An ocular anaesthetic was used for both eyes of one rabbit on days 2, 3, and 4.
One hour after dosing, all rabbits had slight conjunctival redness, moderate chemosis, and moderate discharge. Twenty-four hours after dosing, all rabbits had moderate to marked conjunctival redness, moderate chemosis, moderate to marked discharge, and slight corneal opacity. The two male rabbits also had slight irritation of the iris twenty-four hours after dosing. Forty-eight hours after dosing, all rabbits had moderate to marked conjunctival redness, slight to moderate chemosis, moderate to marked discharge, slight corneal opacity, and slight irritation of the iris. The ocular irritation slowly diminished over time. Corneal vascularisation was noted in all three animals starting on day 15 and continuing for one rabbit through day 36. Two rabbits had ocular irritation that continued through study termination. All rabbits gained body weight over the duration of the study.
