Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The test substance in 20% mineral oil did not produce irritating effects.
Executive summary:

Three normal, healthy, albino rabbits were used in this experiment. The method of procedure is that suggested by Dr. Draize.

Each animal had 0.1 ml. of the test sample instilled into the right eye with no further treatment as its own control. The untreated left eye of each animal served Both the treated and control eyes were examined every twenty-four hours for four days and then again on the seventh day. The scorings recorded were made according to the Draize scale for scoring ocular lesions. Exposure to the test substance did not produce any irritation.
