Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, 3.4 - 12.3% of the substance was found to be mildly irritating to rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the eye irritation potential of 3.4 -12.3 of the constituent 'glycerides, C16-18' (as fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil) in six rabbits. Cornea, iris, and conjunctiva were evaluated at Days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 after instillation.


Under the test conditions, the substance was found to be mildly irritating to rabbit eye (CIR, 2001).
