Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Mean Draize socre = 0.3 on a scale of 110
Executive summary:

When 0.1 mL of undiluted Terphenyl, hydrogenated was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye, the average of the Draize irritation score for 24, 48 and 72 hours was 0.3 on a scale of 110 in six rabbits. Minor corneal involvement was observed in one eye during the study. All treated eyes had regained a normal appearance by the second day of observation.
