Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
2,4,7,9-tetramethyldecane-4,7-diol is an ocular irritant, but not corrosive.
Executive summary:

Ocular findings:

Corneal opacity was noted in 1/3 eyes, although fluorescein stain retention was noted in all the eyes.

The opacity cleared by day 7.

Iritis, noted in 3/3 eyes, cleared by day 7. Conjunctival irritation, noted in 3/3 eyes, cleared by day 14.
