Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not an eye irritant in rabbits.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to EU Method B.5 (GLP study). A total of 3 New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to the test substance. According to the scores obtained for conjunctivae (mean 24-72h score of 0 for the 3 animals), chemosis (mean 24-72h score of 0 for the 3 animals), cornea opacity (mean 24-72h score of 0 for the 3 animals) and iris (mean 24-72h score of 0 for 2 animals and 0.3 for one of them), the substance is not classified as an eye irritant
