Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritant to eyes.
Executive summary:

Method:


Eye irritation potential was tested as described into the Code of Federal Regulations Title 16, Section 1500.42 1973. Test substance was instilled in one eye of 6 rabbits; the untreated eye served as control. No rinse of eye was done. Signs of irritation were scored at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after start of exposure according to Draize criteria.


Results:


No signs of irritation as cornea opacity, iritis and conjunctivae chemosis were noted. Conjunctivae redness was noted in 2/6 rabbits; effects were slight and fully reversible within 72 h after start of exposure.
