Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The BCOP IVIS was 11.33, the corrected mean opacity score was 10.67, and the corrected mean optical density (permeability) score was 0.044. Because the IVIS was less than 55, this result indicated that the test article did not cause serious eye damage, thereby ruling out GHS Category 1.
