Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The maximum irritation score reported for p-phenylenediamine was 17.0 of a possible 110. Based on the scores, p-phenylenediamine can be considered mildly irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of p-phenylenediamine was assessed in rabbits according to Draize method. 100% p-phenylenediamine was instilled into rabbit eyes and observed for signs of irritation (duration not mentioned).The ocular reactions were scored according to Draize method. The maximum irritation score reported for p-phenylenediamine was 17.0 of a possible 110. Based on the scores, p-phenylenediamine can be considered mildly irritating to rabbit eyes.
