Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In this in vivo study on rabbits, the results indicate that the test item is irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

In this GLP compliant OECD 405 study, one eye of each of 3 rabbits was treated with 0.1 mL cyclohexanol (purity 99%) for a period of 24h, 30s or 4s. Draize scoring of eye changes were performed at 24h, 48h, 72h after instillation. Regarding the 24 hour application, the mean cornea score (all animals, mean of 24 - 72 hour readings) was 1.9 (one animal with a score of 1.7 and two animals with a score of 2.0), the mean iris score was 0, the mean conjuctivae score was 2.1 (one animal with a score of 2.3 and two animals with 2.0) and the mean chemosis score was 2,3 (one animal with a score of 2,3, one with 2,7 and one with 2.0). Effects were reversible within 10 days in all animals.
