Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Because two animals out of three showed corneal opacity >= 1 calculated as the mean score following grading at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation and is expected to be fully reversible within an observation period of 21 days, the test material needs to be classified as eye irritant Cat. 2 (2A).
