Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reversibility of any observed effect: Changes not fully reversible within 21 days
Other effects:
Residual test material was noted around the treated eye of all animals throughout the study.

Orange-coloured staining was noted in all treated eyesduring the study.

Dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea was noted in two treated eyes one hour after treatment, in all treated eyes at the 24-hour observation and in one treated eye at the 48-hour observation.
No other corneal effects were noted.
Orange-coloured staining prevented accurate evaluation of
the iris in all treated eyes one hour after treatment, in
two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation and in one
treated eye at the 24-hour observation. The staining
persisted in the two surving animals up to and including the
21-day observation. Iridial inflammation was noted in one
treated eye at the 24-hour observation. No other iridial effects were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The substance is classified as a severe eye irritant (H318),
due to persistent staining and effects on the iris.
