Irritant / corrosive response data:
No effects on cornea or iris were observed in any animal at any time point. Slight conjuntivae redness (grade 1-2) was observed in every animal 1 h after instillation of test item and were fully reversible within 4 days. Chemosis (grade 1) was observed in every animal 1 h after instillation of test substance and was fully reversible within 48 h. Clear discharge was observed in 1 animal 1 h after instillation of test substance but was fully reversible within 24 h.
Other effects:
No signs of systemic toxicity or effects on body weight gain were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study according to OECD 405 the substance was found to be not irritating to eyes. Treatment of 3 female and 3 male New Zealand White rabbits with 0.1 ml undiluted test substance resulted in no effects on cornea and iris in any animal at any time point. Slight conjuntivae redness (grade 1-2) was observed in every animal 1 h after instillation of test item and were fully reversible within 4 days. Chemosis (grade 1) was observed in every animal 1 h after instillation of test substance and was fully reversible within 48 h. Clear discharge was observed in 1 animal 1 h after instillation of test substance but was fully reversible within 24 h.
