Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reversibility of any observed effect: Changes fully reversible within 2 days
Other effects:
During the observation period, no chemosis and no effects on cornea and iris was observed.
After instillation, two animals showed diffuse reddening of the conjunctivae,
the other animals showed only light conjunctivae reactions.
All reactions were fully reversible within 24 or 48 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In the study, only weak symptoms of eye irritation were observed. The results are conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted according to Guideline EU B.5.

A single dose of 75 mg of the test substance was administered to the rabbit eye.

Only weak signs of irritation were observed for the duration of the study.

These symptoms were fully reversible within 24 -48 hours.
