Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
not an eye irritant
Executive summary:

sodium methallyl sulfonate was tested for eye irritancy in 6 male albino rabbits. after installation if about half a milligram, redness of the coniunctivae was observed in 6 of the animals, and a hazy cornea in one. On dday two , redness was still visible in 3 animals, on day 3 and beyond no signs of eye irritation were observed, The substance is slightly irritating to the eyes, but need not be classified in view of the slight character of the lesions and the rapid and total reversibility.
