Additional information

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The substance is considered to be non-irritating to skin based on the minimal erythematous response observed in an acute rabbit irritation study with its close analogue (OECD 404).

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The substance is considered to be non-irritating to eyes based on the minimal response observed in an acute rabbit irritation study with its close analogue (OECD405).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Not classified for acute skin or eye irritancy, according to the criteria of CLP regulation EC No.1272/2008.
