Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
A maximal score of 13 from 110 was observed after 24 h. Therefore, the substance is not classified as irritating to eyes according to EU criteria.
Executive summary:

0.1 ml undiluted liquid was applied to the eye of 6 albino rabbits and irritation was observed after 24, 48 and 72 h. Mean score decreased from13.0 over 6.5 to 3.5 with the course of time.
