Irritant / corrosive response data:
Oedema with the lids about half closed, copious discharge, moderate redness of the conjunctivae and mild corneal cloudiness were recorded by one hour after instillation. The lids were nearly closed overnight and there was moderate iris conjunction (24 hours). Improvement followed irrigation so that within five days iris clarity was nearly normal in two animals. Also, discharge had ceased and oedema had reduced considerably.
Other effects:
Signs of discomfort or pain were pawing at the eyes.

Justification for classification or non-classification

ATMP-H as sold is an aqueous solution with a solids content of 48-52%; it has a pH of 1-2 as a 1% solution. The low pH means that the substance is irritating to eyes and a classification of Eye Irritation Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) applies. However, the substance is often used as part of a formulation with higher pH. The neutral salts of ATMP are not irritating based on measured data. Therefore, a Classification and an Assessment Entity are presented for ATMP-H used as part of a formulation with pH >2. This form of the substance is non-irritating. It is concluded that no classification for skin and eye irritation or corrosion is required for the neutralised form of ATMP-H according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
