Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the test article is considered to be not irritating to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation similar to OECD 405 was performed with six female and male rabbits from russian breed. The eyes of three rabbits were left unwashed after application of 0.1 g unchanged test substance and the animals were observed 7 days. The mean scores for the 24, 48 and 72 h reading for conjunctivae redness, iritis, cornea opacity and conjunctivae chemosis were 0 at any reading time point. In three additional rabbits the eyes were rinsed 30 seconds after application of test substance. In this case the same results were observed. This indicates that the substance is not an irritant to the rabbit eye.
