Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
All individual effects scores over time remained below cut-off limits for classification: cornea < 2, iris < 1, redness < 2.5, oedema < 2.
Under the conditions of the test, the test material, Creosote SNCF, is not irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
