Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, a slight irritation was noted at 1-48 h, the eyes were normal at 72 h.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the corneal damage potential by the test substance. The undiluted test substance was instilled into the right eye of each of three rabbits. The left eyes remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were scored at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after instillation. Under the study conditions, a slight irritation was noted at 1-48 h, the eyes were normal at 72 h (BASF, 1989).
