Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test substance was not irritating.
Executive summary:

The undiluted test substance was instilled into the right eye of each of three rabbits. The left eyes remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were scored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after instillation. Slight irritation was noted at 1-48 h; the eyes were normal at 72 h.
