Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride is highly irritating to the eye
Executive summary:

Acute eye irritation has been investigated according to OECD test guidelines. The eye of a single animal was exposed, resulting in severe ocular reaction. The substance is regarded as being highly irritant to the eye.
