Executive summary:

Test Guidance

Eye irritation study performed by a similar method to 16 CFR 1500.42 of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act,

Method and Material

0.1 mL of the test material was instilled into the right eye of six young adult albino rabbits. The left eye served as the untreated control. The test material was not washed from the eye. Treated eyes were examined at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days following treatment. Interpretation of results was made in accordance with the Draize scale.

Results

No irritation was observed in any animal at any observation period.

Conclusion

In accordance with EU CLP Regulation No. 1272/2008 classification of this substance is not required for eye irritation.
