Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not classifed.
Executive summary:

In a test according to EU Method B.5, the test item was found to cause some eye irritation effects that were visible at the inspection 1h after administration. These effects were fully reversible after 1 day. During the observations at 24h and 48h, discharge was observed. All effects were fully reversible within 3 days.
