Irritant / corrosive response data:
No iridial irritation or corneal opacity were observed, and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage.
There was no evidence of ocular corrosion.
Remnants of the test substance were present in the eye on Day 1 and on the outside of the eyelids on Days 1 and 2.
Yellow staining of the fur on the head and paws, caused by the test substance, was noted throughout the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on these results, S-500 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labeling requirement for eye irritation according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2004) and EC criteria for classification and labeling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
