Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test the test substance is corrosive to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation/corrosion test was performed with six rabbits according to a FDA guideline. The animals were exposed to 0.1 ml of test substance. Strong corrosive effects were observed in all animals.
