Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test the test item was not irritating to eyes according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

A reliable experimental study was performed with three rabbits (BASF AG, 1985; similar to OECD 405, RL 2, key study). Animals were exposed to 0.1 mL of neat test item and were observed for 72 hours. At the 1, 24, 48 and 72 h reading there were no effects on the cornea, iris and no conjunctivia chemosis was observed (score 0 for all endpoints at all time points). Only a mean conjuctiva redness score of 0.9 (mean of all animals; 24 -48 -72 h) was observed, effects were fully reversible within 72 h, thus the test item is not irritating to the eyes.
