Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the study results, the test substance is not irritating to eyes.
According to EU classification and OECD GHS classification criteria, no classification is required
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study, 0.1 mL (approx. 16 mg) of undiluted test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of two male New Zealand White rabbits. The animals were observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored according to Draize.

Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated animals 1 hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in both treated eyes at the 24 -hour observation and in one treated eye at the 48 -hour observation interval. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 -hour observation interval.
