Irritant / corrosive response data:

Corneal injury was observed in one animal and consisted of slight dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea and epithelial damage (maximum 15%).
There was no evidence of ocular corrosion.
Remnants of the test substance were present in the eye on Day 1.
No staining of (peri) ocular tissues by the test substance was observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Based on the results of this in vivo eye irritation test, the test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation.
