Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
In rabbit eye irritation study, the test chemical was classified as minimally irritating to the eye under the classification scheme used in the study. According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) however, this study would not trigger for eye irritation. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
In rabbit eye irritation study, the test chemical was classified as minimally irritating to the eye under the classification scheme used in the study. According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) however, this study would not trigger for eye irritation. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was performed to evaluate the ocular irritation potential of the test chemical in rabbits.The test chemical was performed according to OECD 405 and EPA OPPTS 870.2400 Guidelines. Single instillation of 0.08 g finely ground test chemical was done into the eyes of 3 female rabbits. The rabbits were then observed for signs of irritation.In rabbit eye irritation study, the test chemical was classified as minimally irritating to the eye under the classification scheme used in the study. According to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) however, this study would not trigger for eye irritation. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.
