Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study according to OECD TG 405 the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 male rabbits each. Eye irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours using the Draize scale. In this study slight irritation was seen as conjunctional redness (grade 1) up to 72 hours after instillation and conjunctival chemosis (grade 1) up to 24 hours after instillation. No systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

According to classification criteria Ethoxyamidin HCl is not an irritant to the eyes.
