Interpretation of results:
other: Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the test substance produced severe and irreversible damage in rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the eye irritation/corrosion potential of the test substance, C12-16 ADBAC (80% active in water) according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 405. The experiment was performed on rabbits. All six test rabbits received 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance in one eye. The other eye remained untreated. Eyes were not washed throughout the study. After 24, 48 and 72 h, eyes were evaluated for ocular lesions according to the Draize scale. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance produced severe and irreversible damage in rabbit eyes (Wallace, 1975).
