Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Draize (1959); Appendix VI of 79/831/EEC
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

Determination of eye irritating index was conducted following OECD method No.405. An amount of 0.1 g of the undiluted test substance was instilled into one eye of each 3 male rabbits, and the untreated contralateral eye served as control. The eyes were rinsed 72 hours after application of test item. The animals were observed for a period of 14 days after application. The substance stuck on the cornea. Loss of  hair was  observed at the treated eyes. Eye irritation index was assessed using the Draize scale. The test was evaluated as follows (average of evaluations at 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively): cornea: 0, iris: 0, conjunctivae: redness:0.89, chemosis: 0.0 (mean scores on Draize scale). Therefore, isophorone diisocyanate cyclodimer was considered to be not irritating to eyes.
