Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating

Executive summary:

94 Milligrams of the test substance was applied to one eye of each of 6 male rabbits and held in place for 1 second in each case. Observations of the resulting eye condition were made 60 minutes after test substance application, and again after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days.

Average scores (for days 1 to 3): cornea – 0; iris – 0; conjunctiva redness – 0.56, chemosis – 0.6 and discharge – 1.5.

All irritant effects observed were reversed within 1 to 3 days.

The substance is classed as ‘slightly irritating’ under the classification system used in the study.
