Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is not considered to be irritating to eye.
Executive summary:

A Study according to OECD Guideline 405 was performed to investigate the test item regarding its eye irritation potential. To test for primary eye irritation, 0.1 g of the test material powder was applied into the conjunctival sac of rabbits. The first examination of the eyes followed 1 hour after instillation. The examinations were performed daily for another 7 days. No signs of irritation were observed in cornea and iris. The conjunctivae showed redness (score 1) and discharge (score 1) in all animals at the first reading. This is a common finding in the case of powder application. The untreated eyes were unchanged. Thus, the test item is not considered to be irritating to eye.
