Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information according to the CLP Regulation Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Not irritating.
- Executive summary:
Method
Test was conducted following the procedure used is described in the Proposed Guidelines of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) § 163.81-4 "Primary eye irritation study", Federal Register, Vol. 43, No. 163, August 22, 1978.
Results
The substance was found to cause no irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa.
Conclusion
According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), the substance can be classified as not irritating, because when applied to the eye of an animal does not produce at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or iritis ≥ 1, and/or conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2, calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material.
