Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on CLP criteria (EU criteria according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
A generally reliable study, conducted similar to OECD 405 (not in compliance with GLP), reported that the neat test material caused significant irreversible effects and necrosis to the conjunctiva, iris and cornea of rabbits.
