Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

Application of 50 mg and not 100 mg test substance into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of 2 rabbits; the untreated other eye served as control Observation period was 7 days. No reaction of the eyes were observed. Therefore, Nigrosin WLF has to be evaluated as non-irritating to the mucous membranes.
