Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Based on the findings in this test, the test substance is not eye irritating. The test material contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore the test results are adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

Test material "Echtrot BB Base flüssig" was subject to an acute eye irritation/corrosion test in 3 New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD TG 405. After the instillation of 0.1 ml of the undiluted test material into each rabbits left conjunctival sac only minor effects were seen in all animals (cornea score: 0; iris score: 0 -1; conjunctivae score (redness): 0 -2; chemosis score: 0 -2). These effects were fully reversible until the 7 d reading. Based on these findings, the test substance is not eye irritating.
