Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The eye irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in White Vienna rabbits according to OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5. The test substance was observed to be irritating to the eyes (category 2B).
