Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Testing for primary eye irritation in the rabbit showed that the substance is not irritating to eyes.
Executive summary:

Method

The substance was tested for its eye irritation potential according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.42

100 µL of the test item was applied once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye of three rabbits. The untreated eyes served in each case as a control. The treated eyes were examined 24, 48 and 72 hours and 8 days after application of the test substance. At 8 days the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV light after instillation of one drop of fluorescein.

Results

No irritant effects were observed, hence the test substance is considered to be not irritating to the eye.
