Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Due reversible of conjunctivae redness (score >=2) a classification of Category 2B is justified.
Executive summary:

Three White New Zealand were subject to a single ocular application of 0.1 mL. The average score for irritation (24 h-72 h) was 0.3 for corneal opacity, 0.2 for iris, 2.1 for conjuntivae redness and 0.8 for chemosis. All effects were reversible within 8 d.
