Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
slightly irritating
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested in a 24 h eye irritation test in rabbits.

The test substance (100 µl) was administered into one eye of 3 rabbits (the other eye remained untreated and served as control). The substance was washed out after 24 hours with NaCl.

The animals were observed for 21 days after experiment.

The test substance was found to be slightly irritating to eye.
