Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is not irritant to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

An in-vivo acute eye irritation study in the rabbit was performed with the test substance ISO-TRIDECYL 3 -MERCAPTOPROPIONATE according to OECD guideline 405 and EU method B5 and compliance with the international GLP regulations. All validity criteria were met.

The test substance produced a maximum group mean score of 4.7 and was classified as a MIMIMAL IRRITANT (CLASS 3 ON A 1 TO 8 SCALE) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

The test substance did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the EU labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are therefore required.
