Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Witamol 118 showed a slight irritating effect on the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye of the rabbit and was designed to comply with the requirements of the OECD Guidelines of Testing of Chemicals No. 405.

WITAMOL 118 was administered undiluted to the eye rabbits as a single application and produced a slight irritating effect.
