Irritant / corrosive response data:
All animals showed positive ocular response following test article instillation. The untreated eyes of all animals showed no effects except of one animal which exhibited diffuse areas of corneal opacity at the 24 and 48 h reading.
After 7 days, effects were still apparent in 4/6, 2/6, 6/6 and 5/6 animals on cornea, iris, conjunctivae redness and concjunctivae, respectively.

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:
In the present study irreversible effects within a shorter observation period were observed in all animals. Classification as Eye Damage Category 1 was based on an expert judgement considering a worst case assumption.
