Irritant / corrosive response data:
After 1 h: scattered or diffuse areas of corneal opacity (grade 1); conjunctiva and the nictitating membrane presented a bloody aspect, conjunctiva showed diffuse beefy colouring (grade 3) and swelling with lids more than half closed (grade 4); lacrimation with moistening of the lids and adjacent fur with bloody aspect (grade 2); iris could not be examined.
After 24, 48, 72h: similar effects as after 1 h.
After 7 days: easily discernible translucent area in the cornea (25-50% of the area) and neovascularization; diffuse beefy colouring in the conjunctiva, swelling with the lids half closed; lacrimation with moistening of the lids and adjacent fur.
After 14 and 21 days: nacreous area of opacity in the cornea (75-100% of the area) and neovascularization; diffuse crimson colouring in the conjunctiva, swelling with the lids half closed; lacrimation with moistening of the lids and adjacent fur and whitish secretion.
After 21 days: growth of the surface tissue over the cornea.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
