Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Conjunctival redness or chemosis was observed in 3 of 3 rabbits. Based on these observations, the test chemical was considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes, was classified under the category “Category 2B”.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study in rabbits was conducted to assess the irritation potential of the test chemical. The study was performed according to Draize method. Undiluted test chemical was instilled in the eyes of 3 rabbits and observed for signs of irritation till 7 days. The reactions observed were scored according to Draize method.Mean scores are calculated for each animal from gradings at 24, 48, and 72 h after instillation of the test chemical and these “severity scores” are then used to determine the classification of the test chemical.

Conjunctival redness or chemosis was observed in 3 of 3 rabbits. Based on these observations, the test chemical was considered to be irritating to rabbit eyes, was classified under the category “Category 2B”.
