Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The eye lesions caused by the test substance were of a slight degree and do not require classification for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

Eight chemical products, all organic peroxides, were examined for eye irritating properties in experiments with albino rabbits. All products examined caused ocular lesions. Based on the effects the test substance is not classified.
