Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not irritating to the eyes
Executive summary:

In a test according to OECD 405 3 rabbits received 0.1 mL of the substance in the eye. Initial signs of irritation were fully reversible over the 72 hour (7 day) observation period. The substance is considered not irritating to the eyes.
