Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Conclusions:
According to the classification criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test material is not irritating to eyes under these test conditions.
Executive summary:

A study according to OECD Guideline 405 and EU Method B.5 was performed to investigate the irritation potential to the rabbit eye.

One and 24 hours after treatment the conjunctivae of the animals showed definitely injected blood vessels up to a diffuse crimson red colour. Additionally, a very slight swelling and slight from substance coloured eye discharge were observed in one animal one hour after treatment. Fourty-eight hours after treatment all signs of irritation were reversible.

As the mean values of the observed eye responses fall below the critical values for classification according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the test material is not irritating to eyes and has not to be classified for eye irritation.
