Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Acetophenone had no irrtitating effect on rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of 0.1 mL acetophenone was investigated in 6 rabbits following a testing procedure comparable to OECD Guideline 405 (without scoring at 1 hr post instillation). According to the scoring system of Draize there was no adverse reaction at any timepoint from 24 hrs to 7 days post application. Acetophenone had no irrtitating effect on rabbit eyes.
