Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Using EU criteria Lial 111 is a category 2 irritant based on 24+48+72 hour scores for conjunctival redness of 2 in all rabbits and persistence to 7 days. The evidence of conjunctival irritation at 7 days was noticeably less than at 72 hours.

Classification: not irritating
