Results and discussion

In vitro

Results
Irritation parameter:
in vitro irritation score
Run / experiment:
1
Value:
ca. 20.6
Vehicle controls validity:
not applicable
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Other effects / acceptance of results:
The positive control, ethanol, elicited an In Vitro Irritancy Score of 40.2.
The negative control, 0.9% sodium chloride solution, opacity mean change value was 1.7

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Although the result concludes that the irritancy cannot be predicted, the substance caused a degree of corneal opacity with a score of ca 20 and significantly over the limit score of 3 for non-classified.
In view of this indication of some eye irritation, classification as Eye Irrit 2 is proposed.
