Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A mean value at 24, 48, 72 hours could not be calculated, because the study was discontinued after 24 hours.
Severe corneal opacity and severe irritation have been seen at 1 and 24 hours after application.
