Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was recorded in any of the animals. Mild conjunctival irritation was recorded in all three animals, this had resolved two or three days after instillation. Thus instillation of the test substance into the rabbit eye did not elicit a positive response in any of the three treated animals.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of Polyol TP 30 (propylidynetrimethanol, ethoxylated) was investigated in a rabbit study (OECD 405). Instillation of 0.1 mL of the material into one eye of three rabbits did not result in any corneal damage or iridial inflammation. Mild conjunctival irritation was recorded in all three animals; this resolved within two or three days after instillation. The reactions seen in this study are not sufficient to result in classification according to the CLP Regulation.
