Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The susbatnce has not to be classified as eye irritant.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for eye irritation according to OECD guideline 405. 100 mg of the test item was administered into the left eyes of 3 rabbits (New Zealand Whites). One hour to 7 days after the application the conjunctivae showed redness and were slightly swollen. by day 14 after application all signs for irritation were reversible. Therefore, the test item has to be described as slighly irritant to the eye but it is not subject for classification.
