Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The application of several crystals of benzophenone into the conjunctival sac of rabbits caused only a slight reaction.
Executive summary:

In this study with rabbits the application of several crystals of benzophenone into the conjunctival sac (3 rinsed/not rinsed each) caused only a slight reaction. Thus benzophenone is not subject of classification.
