Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
not irritating to eyes
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for eye irritation/corrosion in rabbits according to OECD 405. 100 mg of the undiluted test item were applied into the conjunctival sac of the left eye from each of three rabbits. The right eye remained untreated and served as control. After 24 h exposure time the eyes were rinsed with physiol. saline. The eyes of the animals were examined at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after test substance application. Mean scores (mean of 24, 48, 72 h) were calculated for cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness, and conjunctivae chemosis for each rabbit

Based on the findings in this test the test substance was considered not to be a eye irritant.
