Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of 4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzoic acid was tested according to OECD 405. The test was conducted with one rabbit. The following mean scores were determined over the first 72 h: cornea: 1.33, iris: 0, conjunctivae: 2.00, chemosis: 1.00. After day 18 the irritation had completely resolved.
