Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test material causes irreversible effects on the eye
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 ml of undiluted test substance was placed into one eye of each of the New Zealand White rabbits (6 animals). The test substance produced ocular irritation up to 7 days.

 

Due to the potential irreversible effects the test substance is classified as Category 1 in accordance with the classification system of GHS.
