Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item did not cause irritation or corrosion in rabbit eyes. All initial signs of a very weak irritation (conjuctivae redness and chemosis) were fully reversible within 7 d. The substance is not classifiable according to the CLP Regulation.
