Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material is not an eye irritant according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

The eye irritancy was investigated in rabbits. The effect on the left eye of each three rabbits was scored after instillation of 0.1 ml of test material, either rinsed after 30 seconds of exposure or unrinsed. The right eyes were left untreated and used as control. The observation period was 7 days. There were slight effects on the cornea and iris visible for 2 days or less. The conjunctiva of an unrinsed eye of one rabbit remained reddened until the end of the observation period, all other animals did not show an effect on day 3 and thereafter.
