Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No corneal opacity was observed in the rabbits at all observation times. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to eyes. It can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study in rabbits was conducted to assess the irritation potential of the test chemical.The study was performed according to Draize method. Undiluted test chemical was instilled in the eyes of 1 rabbit and observed for signs of irritation till 7 days. The reactions observed were scored according to Draize method.Mean scores are calculated for each animal from gradings at 24, 48, and 72 h after instillation of the test chemical and these “severity scores” are then used to determine the classification of the test chemical.

No corneal opacity was observed in the rabbits at all observation times. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to eyes. It can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
