Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No classification and labelling required
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study according to TG OECD 405 and GLP 0.1 mL PBO were instilled into one eye of each of three Himalayan rabbits. Treated eyes were washed after 24 h.

There were no systemic reactions.

Corneal opacity was observed in two animals at 24 and 48 h (grade 2) and 72 h (grade 1) after instillation.

Irritation of the iris (grade 1) was observed in two animals at 24 and 48 h after instillation.

Conjunctival redness (gade 1) was observed in all animals at 1 and 24 h, in two animals until 48 h after instillation.

Chemosis (grade 1) was observed in two animals at 24 h and in one anima at 48 h after instillation.

No classification and labelling with reagrd to eye irritation is required.
