Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There were positive eye irritation reactions in all of the six test subjects and the maximum group mean score was 37.0/110.0 at the 24 hour observation. Effects observed were not fully reversible in at least one animal by the 504 hour (21 day) observation point.
In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is required for eye irritation. As effects are not reversible in at least one animal, classification as Category 1 serious eye damage is applicable.
Executive summary:

In an OECD Guideline No. 405 0.1 mL of the test material was applied as supplied to the non-irrigated eye of six albino New Zealand rabbits. Irritation was recorded using the Draize scale at 1, 24, 48, 72, 168, 336 and 504 hour time points.

There were positive eye irritation reactions in all of the six test subjects and the maximum group mean score was 37.0/110.0 at the 24 hour observation. Effects observed were not fully reversible in at least one animal by the 504 hour (21 day) observation point.

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, classification of this substance is required for eye irritation. As effects are not reversible in at least one animal, classification as Category 1 serious eye damage is applicable.
