Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the scores obtained, 4,4`-sulphonyldiphenol has not to be classified as irritant and corrosive when applied to rabbit eye mucosa The animals had recovered at the end of the observation period of 7 days.
Executive summary:

4,4`-sulphonyldiphenol was tested in an acute eye irritation/corrosion study in New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD guideline 405. 0.1 g of 4,4`-sulphonyldipenol was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal, after gently pulling away the lower lid from eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test material. The left eye remained untreated and served as a control. Based on the scores obtained, 4,4`-sulphonyldiphenol has not to be classified as irritant and corrosive when applied to rabbit eye mucosa The animals had recovered at the end of the observation period of 7 days.
