Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The eye irritating potential of Amphotensid EH was investigated in an acute eye irritation study, which was performed according to OECD 405 and under GLP conditions. Based on the results, the test item does not need to be classified according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of 67/548/EEC and Annex VI of 1272/2008, under the conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

The eye irritating potential of Amphotensid EH was investigated in an acute eye irritation study, which was performed according to OECD 405 and under GLP conditions. Three male albino New Zealand White rabbits were administered a single ocular dose of 0.1 ml of the test substance and observed up to eight days after instillation. Moderate conjunctiva reactions (redness and chemosis) were observed, which were totally reversible within 8 days. Based on these results, the test item does not need to be classified according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of 67/548/EEC and Annex VI of 1272/2008, under the conditions of this study.
