Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to the study, the test item showed no irritant effect on the eyes and mucosa of male and female rabbits.
Executive summary:

The test item was investigated for irritant effects on the eye and associated mucous membranes of 3 female and 3 male rabbits according to OECD TG 405 (1981). The test substance was applied in a single dose of 0.1 ml into the conjuntival sac of each animal. According to the study, the test item showed no irritant effect on the eyes and mucosa of male and female rabbits.
