Remarks on result:

Remarks:
Although no data on iritis (iris score) is reported, the available data on eye irritiation / damage is unambiguous and sufficient to derive a reliable classification and labelling.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Individual corneal, conjunctivae and chemosis scores are summarised in the table in section “Any other information on results incl. tables”. No data are available regarding iritis. The test substance caused a slight corneal reactions in all animals (score 1). While the corneal reactions were fully revesible within 7 - 14 in 2 of the animals, they persisted until the end of the observation period after 21 days in the remaining 2 animals. The test substance also induced conjunctivae reactions. Moderate redness of the conjuntivae (score 2) was observed in 2 of the 4 animals which was fully revesible within 7 days. Redness (mean score 2.3 of 2/4 animals) of the conjunctivae was also visible in the other 2 animals with full reversion of the effect on day 21 of the observation period. Swelling (chemosis) of the conjuctivae was another effect observed after exposure to the test substance. While 2/4 animals exhibited only slight chemosis (max. score 1) that was fully reversible within 72 h after exposure, the effect lasted until day 7 in 1 animal and until day 10 in the remaining animals.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Eye damage 1, H318. Classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP/EU GHS)
Conclusions:
Due to the irreversible nature of the corneal reactions (opacity score 1 after 21 days in 2/4 animals), the test substance has to be classified as eye damage 1, H318, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Although no data on iritis (iris score) is reported, the available data on eye irritiation / damage is unambiguous and sufficient to derive a reliable classification and labelling.
