No valid studies are available. All available data get a K4 since no original references are available only secondary references.

The results from animal studies show irritation to the eyes.The lack of individual scores and the use of a non-standard technique preclude classification on the basis of EU or GHS criteria. A precautionary approach is chosen and the substance is classified: Irritant, Category 2

 

Classification and Labeling

Irritant, Category 2

5 (Scale of 1 - 10; 1 = no observed reaction; 10 = most severe)

Application of 0.1 ml to the eyes of rabbits and 0.05 ml to the eyes of guinea pigs daily for 15 days produced some irritation with erythema. There was complete recoverywithin 7-14 days, with no permanent corneal damage.
