Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Versatic 10 was slightly, but transiently, irritating to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

Versatic 10 (neodecanoic acid) was tested for eye irritancy in one eye of each of three rabbits. Eye responses were scored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment according to the method of Draize. At 1 hour after treatment, animals showed slight redness of the conjunctivae, slight to moderate swelling and slight to moderate discharge. One animal showed slight iritis. In all animals, recovery was advanced by 48 hours after treatment and the remaining eye responses had resolved completely by 72 hours after treatment. The overall mean scores were:

Opacity: 0

Iris: 0

Redness: 0.67

Edema: 0.33
