Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The test chemical at dose levels up to 10mg/ml (1%) was non-irritating to rabbit eyes. Hence, it can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted to evaluate the acute eye irritation potential of the test chemical in rabbit. 0.1 -1% test chemical in distilled water was instilled into the eyes of rabbits and observed for effects [duration of exposure, observation period not specified]. The test chemical at dose levels up to 10mg/ml (1%) was non-irritating to rabbit eyes. Hence, it can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.
