Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
An analogue substance produced only mild transient effects on the eyes of rabbits. The substance is not expected to cause significant eye irritation.
