Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Moderately irritating to the eye (exposure period: 24 hrs).
Reactions of the mucous membranes and effects of the cornea and discharge were evident in all animals. The iris was also transiently affected in one animal. These signs proved to be fully reversible within 7 days. Non-ocular lesions and other signs of toxicity were not observed.
Executive summary:

The irritant/corrosive potential of the test substance was studied on the skin and eye of the rabbit in accordance with the OECD Guidelines Nos. 404 and 405 for Testing of Chemicals. Whilst considering OECD Interpretation Guides results were interpreted in conjunction with the nature, intensity, and reversibility of the responses observed.


Exposure of the test substance to the eye caused reactions of the mucous membranes and effects of the cornea and discharge in all animals. The iris was also transiently affected in one animal. These signs proved to be fully reversible within 7 days. Non-ocular lesions and other signs of toxicity were not observed. This evidence indicates that the product may be considered as moderately irritating to the eye.
