Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions tested the test item was corrosive to eyes.
Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated similar as described in OECD testing guideline no 405. The test item (0.1 g) was applied into the lower left conjunctival sac of the intact eye of four New Zealand White rabbits. Reading times were 1 h, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days post instillation. Within 2 days post instillation the reading of all characteristics (i.e. corneal opacity, iris, conjunctivae redding, chemosis) resulted in maximum scores, which were not reversible within 7 days post application.
