Any other information on results incl. tables

A very slight enanthema together with chemosis was observed at the 1 hour reading in all test animals, but was fully reversed by 24 our reading. No lesion of the iris or cornea was observed at any of the observation time points.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a well conducted in vivo eye irritation study using Isostearyl alcohol (OECD 405, GLP) minor transient irritation was observed after one hour. No other treatment related ocular effects were subsequently recorded. On the basis of these findings, Isostearyl alcohol is not classifed as irritating to eyes.
