Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on an In Vitro Irritatancy Score between 3 and 55, no prediction can be made for the UN GHS
categorization of the test article as defined in OECD Guideline #437.

According to EURL ECVAM DB-ALM Protocol No. 127, Solvent-free Dabco TMR Batch# meyersl.20160601 is considered to be a moderate eye irritant.
