Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the eye irritation potential of the test substance (purity: 75%) in rabbits, according to Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act. In this study, 0.1 mL of test substance at a concentration of 75% in water was instilled in the right eyes of 6 rabbits and the untreated left eye served as controls. The animals were examined 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 d following application. The effects on the cornea, the iris and the conjunctivae were evaluated. The test substance did not cause irritation to the eyes of rabbits following exposure. Under the study conditions, the test substance was therefore considered to be not irritating to eyes (South Mountain Laboratories, 1972).
