Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance has little irritant effect in the eye. The response that was observed was readily reversibile and may have arisen from the mechanical action of a solid substance.
Therefore the test item was classified as moderate irritant.
