Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The eye irritation property of the registration substance was investigated in rabbits according to the Guideline OECD 405. No significant effect was found.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation property of the registration substance was investigated in rabbits according to the Guideline OECD 405. Three rabbits were treated by applying 0.1 ml of undiluted substance into left eyes. Redness of conjunctivae was observed immediately after treatment, which disappered within 48 hours. In addition, chemosis and sclera were observed immediately after treatment but were reversible within 24 hours. No significant eye irritating property was obtained for the registration substance.
