Irritant / corrosive response data:
The daily eye examination yielded the following results: The conjunctivae were up to 6 days after treatment severe and thereafter moderately reddened and swollen. The cornea was completely burned.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information According to the CLP and DSD regulation if a substance or mixture is classified as Skin corrosive Category 1 or as C, 34 then serious damage to eyes is implicit and there is no need to proceed with classification for eye effects. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
CLP: not classified
DSD: not classified
