Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The corrosivity of the chemical cannot be excluded due to higher concentration not tested.
Based on its property as a skin corrosive, it is expected that the chemical would cause irreversible eye damage at high concentration
