Irritant / corrosive response data:
At 1 h after treatment, slight redness of the conjunctivae was observed in the three rabbits.
At 24 h after treatment, slight redness of the conjunctivae was observed in one of the three rabbits.
At 48 and 72 h after removal, no signs of irritation were observed in any of the three rabbits.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
The eye irritant potential of L-valine was assessed by application of the dry product to the eyes of three rabbits in accordance with OECD guideline 405. The product is classified as not-irritating to human eye.
