Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There were minimal eye irritation reactions in all three animals. The maximum group mean score was 6.67/110.0 at the 1 hour observation. All reactions were fully reversible by the 48 hour observation. Under the conditions of the study the test material is not irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

In a study performed to OECD Guideline No. 405 and US EPA OPPTS 870.2400 0.1 mL of the test material was applied as supplied to the non-irrigated eye of three female albino New Zealand rabbits. Irritation was recorded using the Draize scale at the 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour time points.

There were minor positive conjunctiva reactions in all of the test subjects at the 1 hour observation giving a maximum group mean score of 6.67/110.0. Effects were fully reversible by the 48 hour observation point.

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is not required for eye irritation.
