Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The eye irritating potential of Anthemis nobilis, ext., (Chamomile oil) was assessed in rabbits. There was no indication of an irritating effect.
Executive summary:

The eye irritating potential of Anthemis nobilis, ext., (Chamomile oil) was assessed in rabbits in a study according to French national protocols and compliant with GLP. 0.1 mL of a 20% (v/v) solution of the test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of 6 male New Zealand white rabbits, without rinsing. The eyes were examined for effects on the conjunctiva, iris and cornea 1 hour, and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days after instillation of the test item. The mean ocular irritation index was reported to be 0.33 (maximum 110) after 2 days, and 0 after 3 days, corresponding to a non-irritant substance.
