Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The test chemical can be considered as not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
Executive summary:

The local eye irritative potential of test chemical was investigated in rabbits’ eye to assess the degree of eye irritancy caused by the chemical.

 

Each rabbit received 2 installations of 0.2 ml of a 10% aqueous suspension of the test chemical into the conjunctival sac of rabbits 5 times per week for 4 weeks. The chemical produced only minimal irritative effects after 2 hours which could not confirmed the irritation potential. Hence, on the basis of findings, the test chemical can be considered as not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.
