Other Observations:
During and after instillation: defensive movements and eyelid closure
24 h through 7 days post instillation: partial or complete adhesions of the conjunctivae due to suppuration
7 days post instillation: no findings in 2/6 rabbits; mean irritation index was 48.5 for the remaining 4 animals (no further details given)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The authors considered the test substance to be moderately irritating, based on the total irritation scores (in the range between 30 and 76; possible max = 110). Based on the corneal opacity (persisting at the end of the observation period without any indication of reversibility), the test substance has to be classified as corrosive Cat. 1.
