Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
1,2 -dichloro-4-nitrobenzene applied into the conjunctival sac of the eye of rabbits caused slightly irritating effects which were reversible within 72 hours post application.
Executive summary:

1,2 -dichloro-4-nitrobenzene was tested for eye irritation in rabbits in a study according to OECD Guideline 405. The substance was applied into the conjunctival sac of the eye of rabbits caused slightly irritating effects which were reversible within 72 hours post application (Hoechst AG 1988).
