Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was not irritating at a concentration of 100 % in the rabbits' eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 405 and according to GLP. Three rabbits were treated with a single application of 0.1 mL test substance. As a result, conjunctival irritation was observed in all animals, but all eyes appeared normal after 48 hours. Therefore, the substance was concluded to be not irritating to the eyes.
