Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No irritation was observed when the phthalimide was instilled into the eyes of 2 rabbits.
Hence phthalimide can be considered as not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to evaluate the eye irritation potential of phthalimide in rabbits.

50 mg of phthalimide was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 2 rabbits and signs of irritation were observed (duration not mentioned).

No irritation was observed when the phthalimide was instilled into the eyes of 2 rabbits.

Hence phthalimide can be considered as not irritating to eyes.
