Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: criteria are not met
Remarks:
according to EU CLP (1272/2008 and its updates)
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions the test substance is not considered to be an eye irritant in accordance with EU CLP and GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

To determine the eye irritation potential 0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled once into the right eye of each of six New Zealand White rabbits. Both eyes were examined before testing, at 24, 48 and 72 hours and at 4 and 7 days. The irritation was scored by the method of Draize. The corneal opacity, iritis and chemosis scores were determined to be 0 for all animals. The conjunctival redness scores were determined to be 0.66, 0.66, 0.66, 0.33, 0, and 0.33 for animal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Based on these scores the test substance was considered not to be irritating to the eyes in accordance with EU CLP and GHS criteria..
