Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Remarks: Migrated information (Risk of serious damage to the eyes) Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Severe effects to the eyes.
Executive summary:

A test to determine the potential for eye irritation was conducted using three albino rabbits. Each animal was administered 0.1 ml of the test material to one eye with the other eye serving as a negative control. Observations were recorded at 24, 48, and 72 hours and again at 4 and 7 days.  

The test substance induced severe damages to the eyes (maximum scores observed in all the animals for each of the parameters).

The test substance is considered to be an extreme irritant to rabbit eyes under the test conditions.
