Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test report describes a valid guideline study. Auditation and quality assurance inspections of the final report were performed. The test substance was not irritating to the rabbit eye under the conditions of the study and is thus not classified.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was conducted using a similar procedure to that described in the current OECD Guideline 405 (Reckers, 1981). The test material (CAS No. 91648-65-6) was applied at a volume of 0.1 mL to the right eye of six rabbits (strain: New Zealand White). The test article was left in the eye (i.e. no rinsing was performed) and the rabbits were observed during application followed by a 14 -day observation period. The left eye served as control.

The treated eye was scored at day 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 14 following instillation. Ocular irritation was not observed in any animal during the study.
