Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The test material Benzophenone (CAS No: - 119-61-9) was considered to be not irritating to rabbits’ eye.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study of Benzophenone (CAS No: -119-61-9)was performed in rabbits to assess its effects in rabbits’ eye.

The test substance was placed in rabbit’s eye at volume of 0.1ml and observed for any ocular changes.

Since the chemical did not induce any adverse effects, Benzophenone (CAS No: -119-61-9)was considered to be not irritating to rabbits’ eye.
