Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The eye irritation potential was determined according to OECD 438 guideline on chicken eyes. The study shows the following results :
- maximal mean score of corneal opacity = 1.7 --> corresponding to ICE class III
- mean score of fluorescein retention = 2 --> corresponding to ICE class III
- maximal mean corneal swelling = 10% --> corresponding to ICE class II
The results obtained lead to the category "no prediction can be made" as defined by OECD guideline; therefore, the substance is not predicting as causing serious eye damage or as not classified for eye irritation/serious eye damage (No category).
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential was determined according to OECD 438 guideline on chicken eyes. The study shows the following results :

- maximal mean score of corneal opacity = 1.7 --> corresponding to ICE class III

- mean score of fluorescein retention = 2 --> corresponding to ICE class III

- maximal mean corneal swelling = 10% --> corresponding to ICE class II

The results obtained lead to the category "no prediction can be made" as defined by OECD guideline; therefore, the substance is not predicting as causing serious eye damage or as not classified for eye irritation/serious eye damage (No category).
