Irritant / corrosive response data:
Individual scores for ocular irritation are given in Table 1. The individual and mean scores as required for EU and GHS classification and labelling are presented in Table 2.
No corneal effects were noted during the study.
Iridial inflammation was noted in both treated eyes one hour after treatment.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in one treated eye and minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in the other treated eye one hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctival irritation noted in both treated eyes at the 24-hour observation.
Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation.
Other effects:
Individual bodyweights and bodyweight changes are given in Table 3.
Both animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
No further local or systemic effects were observed during the study period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item produced individual scores of 0/0 for corneal opacity, 0/0 for iritis, 0.3/0.3 for conjunctival redness and 0.3/0.3 for chemosis, calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hour after instillation. Observed effects were fully reversible within the observation period.
Therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures and the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
The test item is thus considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

CLP: not classified
GHS: not classified
