Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Primary eye irritation has been investigated in the rabbit. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride causes serious eye damage.
Executive summary:

Acute eye irritation has been investigated in the rabbit following administration of a single dose and following FHSA test methods, which are similar to current OECD test methods. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride causes serious eye damage.
