Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Installation of 0.1 ml of the test material into the eyes of six rabbits produced a primary irritation index of 0.1. Hence, the substance was not irritant for the rabbit's eye. Thus, not sufficient for classification.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

The studies on skin irritation show Draize primary irritation index of 0.3. According to Draize, values less than 2 should be considered as non- to mildly irritating while that of eye irritation produced a primary irritation index of 0.1. Hence, the substance was not irritant for the rabbit's eye. Thus, not sufficient for classification.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
the study is reliable/ although pre-GLP

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
the study is reliable/ although pre-GLP

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: slightly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification
