Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were noted during the study.
Moderate conjuctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes at the 1-hour observation. Minimal conjuctival redness was noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hours observation. Effects fully reversible within 2 days.

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Moderate conjuctival irritation have been observed that was completely reversible within 2 days. The test substance did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the EU labelling regulation.
