Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Conclusions:
Cloquintocet-mexyl is not irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:

An in vivo study in rabbits was conducted under GLP to OECD TG 405 to evaluate the eye irritation potential of the substance. An aliquot of 0.1 mL (48 mg) of cloquintocet-mexyl was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. Ocular reactions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days following treatment. The results showed transient slightly irritating effects in the cornea and conjunctivae that had fully resolved within 72 hours. Cloquintocet-mexyl was evaluated to be not irritating to the eyes.
