Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

The substance was tested for eye irritation according to OECD guideline 405. 3 albino Newzealand rabbits were administered 100 mg of the test item suspended in 0.05 ml Polyethyleneglycol 400 in the conjunctivae sac of the left eye. The observation period was 7 days.

Initial findings were fully reversible after 7 days. Therefore there is no need to classify the substance as irritant to the eye.
