Executive summary:

Introduction

The study was performed in accordance with the US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act.

Method

A volume of 0.1g of the test item was placed into one eye of six rabbits. The eyes were left unwashed and observations were perfomed on day 1 and then daily for a period of 3 days. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made according to the Illustrated gide for Grading Eye Irritation by Hazardous Substances

Results

A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of six rabbits produced no effects.

Conclusion

The test material is not an irritant in the eye of rabbits. The test item is not classifiable under CLP.
