Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance caused moderate signs of irritation in 2/3 rabbits. The cornea opacity score was >1 in 2/3 animals, all signs of irritation were fully reversible within 7 days. Therefore, the substance is classified as Category 2 for eye irritation.
