Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study with rabbits, performed according to OECD 405 test guideline and GLP principles, no irritation effects on the eye were observed.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was performed according to OECD TG 405 and under GLP conditions. The test item was instillated in one eye of 3 rabbits. One eye remained untreated and served as a control. No irreversible effects were noted.


Based on the results above, the test material is not classified for eye irritation
