Irritant / corrosive response data:
AVERAGE SCORE (24+48+72 hour) rinsed
- Cornea: individual scores all 0 (group mean score 0)
- Iris: Individual scores all 0 (group mean score 0)
- Conjunctivae (Redness): individual scores 0.3, 0, 0.3 (group mean score  0.2)
- Conjunctivae (Chemosis): individual scores 0.3, 0, 0.3 (group mean  score 0.2)
- Overall irritation score: Maximum mean total score 4.7 at 1 hours after  instillation.

All scores were 0 at 7 days both rinsed and unrinsed.
Other effects:
Conjunctival discharge reported in some rabbits up to 48  hours post instillation (unrinsed) and 1 hour after instillation (rinsed).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The in vivo eye irritation study for Alcohols, C9-11-branched and linear, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, concluded Alcohols, C9-11-branched and linear to be not irritating to eyes.
