Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Mean scores at 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal for corneal opacity and iritis was 0 for all animals. Mean scores for conjuntival redness and oedema were less than 2 in all animals. Therefore, this substance is not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 ml of substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of young adultwhite rabbits (3/sex).  Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

 

No eye irritation was observed.  In this study, substance is not an eye irritant.
