Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the findings at 24h, 48h, 72h, and 7d, the test substance was scored to be mildly irritatant to the rabbit eye (Method of Kay and Colandra).
According to Annex VI of CLP (1272/2008/EC), the available data on 2,3-bis((mercaptoethyl)thio)-1-propanethiol does not warrant classification for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

GST did not show any corneal or iris irritations in the study. The animals reacted with a conjunctival involvement in the way of discharge (1h, 3h and 24h evaluations) and scleral and conjunctival redness (until day 4). Five of six animals showed conjunctival rednedd at 24h after instillation, but only one animal exhibited conjunctival redness at at 48h. This may be interpreted as a result of the eyes' washing after the 24h evaluation. It then became a little worse at 72h and day 4 observations (3/6 animals showed reactions in the treated eyes) but on day 10, no irritation was observed in any eye.
