- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method)
- Version / remarks:
- Due to technical reason (upgrade of the plate reader), plate was measured at 540 and 570 nm, instead of 540 nm as indicated in the Study Plan. As the maximum of the absorption peak is at 570 nm, those results are reported, however all the data will be kept and archived in the raw data binder.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Conjunctival redness, chemosis, discharge and corneal opacity were seen in each animal 1 hour after application of the test material. In each animal some conjunctival redness and discharge remained at the 24 hour observation. Slight conjunctival redness remained in the eye of one animal at the 48 hour observation but all clinical signs and signs of eye irritation had fully reversed at the 72 hour observation; in the other two animals all signs had reversed by the 48 hour observation.
- Other effects:
- The test item caused a local blue discoloration of the hair around the treated eye
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
