Remarks on result:
probability of severe irritation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
As bromide ion is more hazardous than cupric ion, the toxicological data has been provided for bromide.

HBr was set as Category 1 based on the report (DFGOT vol.13 (1999)) of the serious eye membrane stimulus by humans (DFGOT vol.13 (1999)), and a statement called corrosiveness (ICSC (J), (2001)).
