Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was determined to be not irritant to rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the in vivo eye irritation potential of the test substance according OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5. Three rabbits (New-Zealand White) were exposed to the test substance for 24 h. The observation period covered the following 72 h. Conjunctival redness and swelling, as well as cornea opacity and iris irritation were assessed in the rabbits. The mean score at 24, 48, and 72 h after test substance application for all parameters were 0. Under the study conditions, the test substance was determined to be not irritating to rabbit eye.
