Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is irritating to the eyes
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation test according to OECD 405, the substance (0.1 mL) was installed in the eye of 3 male rabbits. Observations after 1, 24, 72, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days were indicative for irritation to the eyes. Based on effects on the conjunctivae the substance needs to be classified for eye irritation (cat 2).
