Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

Instillation of the test substance into one eye of each of three rabbits led to slight erythema in two animals. All effects were fully reversible within the observation time of 7 days. Thus, under the conditions of this test the test substance was slightly irritating to the eyes of rabbits. According to EU Regulation 1272/2008 no classification for eye irritation is warranted.
