Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
SFL is not irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced iridial inflammation and moderate conjunctival irritation. One treated eye appeared normal at the 48-Hour observation and the other treated eye appeared normal at the 72-Hour observation. The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 11.5 and was classified as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system. The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
