Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Accoridng to the effects observed in the eye of the rabbit the test substance is considered a weak irritant to eyes.
Executive summary:

The substance was applied to the eye of albino rabbits. Slight effects were observed (cornea was unaffected, iris showed slight effects, Conjunctivae showed chemosis and secretion).
