Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test item did not reveal any remarkable irritation potential on the eyes of rabbits, tested in this study according to OECD test guideline no. 405 and GLP conditions.
Executive summary:

The primary eye irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no 405.The test item was applied by instillation of 0.1 g into the left eye of each of three young New Zealand White rabbits. The scoring of irritating effects was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test item instillation.

The test item did not induce corneal effects under the conditions of this test. Effects on iris, conjunctivae redness and chemosis were sligtht to moderate (maximum score observed: iris =1; chemosis = 2 (1 -hour reading); conjunctival redness = 2 (1- and 24 - hour reading)) and fully reversible within 48 hours after start of the exposure.
