Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information according to CLP Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Crystalline calcium silicate hydrate (xonotlite - tobermorite) induced corneal opacity and conjunctival redness. Based on the calculated means, the test item must according to Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP/EU-GHS) be classified in category 2 "irritating to eyes".
Executive summary:

An in vivo eye irritation test was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 405 to assess the eye irritation potential of crystalline calcium silicate hydrate (xonotlite - tobermorite). The test item induced corneal opacity and conjunctival redness, but all effects were fully reversible within 9 days. Based on the calculated means, the test item must according to Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP/EU-GHS) be classified in category 2 "irritating to eyes".
