Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No symptoms of eye irritation occurred within 7 days.
Executive summary:

Eye irritation of the test item was tested in male New Zealand White-EMD rabbits. A single application of 0.1 g of the test item suspended in peanut oil DAB 7 or 0.1 mL of peanut oil DAB 7 was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The right eye remained untreated and served as the control. Animals were examined daily for eye lesions for one week and changes were evaluated according to Draize, FDA-Appraisal (1959). No symptoms of eye irritation occurred within 7 days in animals treated with test item or vehicle. The treated eye did not differ from the untreated control eye. This study is considered to be reliable with restriction (Klimisch 2) as it was conducted similar to OECD Guideline 405, however there were minor limitations in experimental design and reporting.
