Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
Slight irritation was observed in rabbits which disappeared after 72 hours.
Hence Geranyl formate can be considered as not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

A rabbit eye irritation study was conducted to assess the irritation potential of Geranyl formate.

Geranyl formate was instilled into rabbit eyes (number not specified) and the effects were observed for 72 hours.

Slight irritation was observed in rabbits which disappeared after 72 hours.

Hence Geranyl formate can be considered as not irritating to rabbit eyes
