Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material invoked no meaningful indications of irritation over the duration of the test. The test material is not considered an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 405) study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 404-360-3) was determined to be not irritating to eyes. Undiluted test material (0.1 ml, corresponding to 38 mg) was applied directly to an eye of three rabbits with the other eye of each being the control. The conditions of the eyes were then observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. At 1 hour, only slight effects graded 1 or 2 were observed. After 24 hours conjunctival redness graded 1 was observed in one animal only, this was fully reversible over the duration of the test. Thus, according to CLP regulation 1272/2008, this substance is not classified for eye irritation.
