Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The eye irritancy potential of Centella asiatica purified dry extract, was investigated in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay. The test item was diluited with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl to gain a 20% concentration. The mean in vitro irritation score was calculated: 53,23.
Therefore the test item was classified as moderate irritant.
The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid
