Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No Irritation/corrosion was observed at any of the measuring intervals.
Executive summary:

The test item was investigated for eye irritation/corrosion properties with three New Zealand White rabbits in a GLP and guideline study according to OECD guideline 405/EU method B.5. When administered neat into the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye, the test item caused conjunctival injection disappearing within 24 hours. This reaction was characterized by a primary irritation score of 0.25, which indicates that the test article can be classified as non irritating for the rabbit eye. Based on this experimental result it can be assumed that short-lasting occasional or accidental contamination of the human eye with the substance will not be accompanied by risk for human health.
