Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test articles was not considered an ocular irritant to rabbits under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

Siz New Zealand white rabbits, free from visible ocular defects, each received a single intraocular application of 0.1 ml the test article in one eye. The contralateral eye, remaining untreated, served as a control. The eyes of all animals remained unwashed for 24 hours. Observations of corneal opacity, iritis, and conjunctivitis were recorded 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, and at 4 and 7 days if irritation persisted. The test article was used as a 25% gravimetric corn oil suspension.

This test article is not an ocular irritant to rabbits under the conditions of the test.
