Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The study was considered to be of high quality (reliability Klimisch 2). The substance did not show a significant irritation after a single ocular application to the rabbit eye for 20 h. The substance is not considered to be irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of the test substance was investigated in rabbits (BASF, 1963). The test substance was administered to the rabbit eye and the resulting effects were evaluated. After 1-hours a slight reddening was noted, which was fully reversible as after 24 hours and after 8 days no findings were reported. The test item can be regarded as not irritating to the eye.
