Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Eye contact with the substance, 3-amino-4-methoxybenzenesulphonic acid, can result in corneal damage or blindness.
Executive summary:

Since eye contact can result in corneal damage or blindness so it can be infered that the target substance will be corrosive to eye and thus will qualify for classification in category 1 as per the EU classification and labelling inventory. This is also supported by the fact that the target chemical, 3-amino-4-methoxybenzenesulphonic acid, is highly acidic as has been mentioned in the phys chem section of this dossier.
