Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: causes serious eye damage
Conclusions:
In the two independent in vitro tests it was not possible to obtain conclusive results (in line with guideline requirements). Based on the fact that in several cases the requirements for classification in Category 1 were fulfilled the substance is classifed in Category 1 for serious eye damage.
