Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Undiluted isopropyl biphenyl was essentially not irritating to unwashed and washed eyes of rabbits.
Hence, isopropyl biphenyl can be considered not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of isopropyl biphenyl was assessed in rabbits. Undiluted isopropyl biphenyl was instilled into the eyes of rabbits. Some eyes were washed and some remained unwashed throughout the study (number of animals and duration not mentioned). The treated eyes were observed for signs of irritation.

Undiluted isopropyl biphenyl was essentially not irritating to unwashed and washed eyes of rabbits.

Hence, isopropyl biphenyl can be considered not irritating to eyes.
