Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
This substance is considered irritating for eyes
Executive summary:

1h after instillation, the tested substance produced an important irritation on the conjunctiva producing redness and intense oedema.The mean values are calculated to be 3.

These reactions decreased after 1 week and completely dissapeared after 13 days. They appeared together with an important lacrimation that stay up to 5/6 days

A congestion in the iris is noted after 1h of contact, this reaction is fully reversible in the 3 rabbits after 1 week

The first 48h, the toal surface of the cornea of the 3 rabbits is covered. The total opacity is more important in the rabbit no 2002 and decrease after 72h to be fully reversible after 6/8 days
