Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study. Minimal  conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after  treatment. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 24-hour observation.  According to EU classification criteria, the test substance is not an eye  irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material produced a maximum group mean score of 4.0 and was classified as minimal irritant (Class 3 on A 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to Kay and Calandra classification system. The effects observed do not warrant classification in the EU.
