Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU (GHS/CLP)
Conclusions:
Following instillation of 0.1 mL of hair spray, which contained 22% isobutane, to the eyes of 5 rabbits (followed by irrigation after 4 seconds), there was no sign of corneal irritation after 1 hour. Transient iritis and mild conjunctivitis were present after 1 hour but these soon disappeared.
