Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was determined not to be irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

In this assessment of the primary irritation to the eye, 0.1 g of the test item was applied to each left eye of 9 rabbits. The treated eyes of 3 rabbits were washed by water and those of 6 rabbits were not washed. The readings of ocular lesions were made at 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the application of the test item in comparison with the untreated right eyes. Very mild changes were observed in treated eyes of all animals whose eyes have been washed out and in 4 animals whose eyes have not been washed out. No irritation to the eyes was observed after 24, 48 or 72 hours. Therefore, the test item was determined not to be irritating to the eye.
