Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study the test item is considered to be not irritating to the rabbits eye.
Executive summary:

To assess the test item for its eye-irritation properties six New Zealand White rabbits were used. Prior to start of study and both, 24 h and 72 p.a. the eyes were examined for ocular lesions by means of fluorescein and UV-light. All other observations were performed without fluorescein. The test sample induced in the same animals slight iris-irritations and in all animals mainly slight redness and chemosis of the conjunctiva.
