Other effects:
Due to the severity of the effects the animal was killed 24 hours after instillation for humane reasons. Corneal opcity covered nearly the whole area. Blanching of the eyelids and a copious discharge were seen.
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Because of the premature killing of the animal no judgement can be made on reversibility. The test substance was highly irritating and should be classified as 'risk of serious damage to eyes'.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation test according to OECD 405 the test substance led to highly irritating effects in one rabbit (redness grade 2, chemosis grade 4, coneal opacity grade 4 with discharge). This rabbit was killed 24 h after treatment for animal welfare reasons and no further animals were treated. Thus, the test substance should be regarded as severely damaging the eyes of rabbits.

Endpoint conclusion

adverse effect observed (irritating)

Additional information

In a GLP compliant skin irritation study performed according to OECD 404 the test substance was shown to be not irritating to rabbit skin. No relevant systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

In an eye irritation test according to OECD 405 the test substance led to highly irritating effects in one rabbit (redness grade 2, chemosis grade 4, corneal opacity grade 4 with discharge). This rabbit was killed 24 h after treatment for animal welfare reasons and no further animals were treated. Thus, the test substance should be regarded as severely damaging the eyes of rabbits.

No data are available for respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of the gaseous substance is unlikely since the vapour pressure of the substance is very low. In case of aerosol contact an irritating potential to the respiratory tract can be assumed, since the substance is classified as severe eye irritant.


Justification for classification or non-classification

No effects for skin irritation were observed. According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification as Eye Damage 1 ( H318: Causes serious eye damage) is justified based on the study results of the eye irritation study
