Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered to be minimally irritating in the treated eyes of rabbits that were unwashed after treatment and practically nonirritating in the treated eyes of animals receiving a washout after test material instillation.
Executive summary:

The test substance is considered to be minimally irritating in the treated eyes of rabbits that were unwashed after treatment and practically nonirritating in the treated eyes of animals receiving a washout after test material instillation.
