Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
severely irritating to the eye


Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation test on rabbits according to OECD 405, the test substance led to marked inflammatory reactions of the corna, iris and conjunctivae in one animal. Discharge was observed. Corneal and conjunctival signs and discharge did not prove to be reversible within 21 days. No systemic intolerance reactions were recorded. Due to animal welfare reasons no further animals were treated. The test substance was shown to induce severely irritating effects to the eye of rabbits.
