Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance has not to be classified as irritant according to the EU regulations.
Executive summary:

Three male Californian rabbits were trated in an acute eye irritation study according to OECD guideline 405 with 0.1 ml of vinyl laurate. The untreated eye of the same animals saved as control. 24 hours after treatment the eyes were washed. A three days observation period followed. No signs of irritating effects according to the guideline scoring sceme were seen at any time in any animal. No other signs of toxicity were found. The body weight gain was in the expected range for untreated animals of this type in this study.
