Mean values over 24h, 48h (72h reading is missing):
Animal1: Opacity: 0.3; Iritis: 0; Erythema: 0.3; Chemosis: 0;
Animal2: Opacity: 0.3; Iritis: 0; Erythema: 0.3; Chemosis: 0;
The application of the test substance caused slight to moderate erythema and slight corneal opacity in the first 24 h. 48 h post application the symptoms were reversible.
The original BASF grading was converted into the numerical grading according to the OECD Draize system.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
