Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
in accordance with EU CLP (1272/2008 and its updates)
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study with rabbits, similar to OECD TG 405 but non-GLP, 0.1 mL of the test substance was applied to one eye of each of 4 rabbits. Eyes were examined 24 hours after treatment and afterwards at daily intervals. The mean cornea, conjunctiva, iris and chemosis scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were all 0. One animal showed signs of discomfort when treated. The substance is considered to be not irritating to eyes.
