Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is not irritant when tested in the EpiOcular TM Eye Irritation Test

Executive summary:

The substance was tested for eye irritation in the EpiOcular TM  Eye Irritation model according to OECD 492. 50 uL of the substance, positive control (methyl acetate) and negative control (H2O) was applied to the tissue for 6 hours, followed by a 25 minutes post-treatment immersion at 37°C, 5% CO2 and thereafter incubated for 18 hour post-dose at 37°C, 5% CO2. 

The substance did not interfere by colour or by direct MTT reduction. Tissue viability was 84.7% of negative controls, while validity criteria were met. The substance is concluded to be non-irritant.
