Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
other: corrosion
Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: not specified
Remarks on result:
probability of severe irritation
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance caused extensive pain, conjunctivitis and corneal damage, resulting in permanent loss of vision on both eyes
Other effects:
10% aqueous solution: slight pain, conjunctivitis with transient corneal damage essentially subsided in 24 h. Eyes normal after one week.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Undiluted 2-SEM caused irreversible eye damage, whereas a 10% aqueous solution caused reversible eye irritation.
