Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on an OECD 405 study with rabbits, the substance causes severe damage to eyes. The substance is classifiable according to GHS Category 1 due to the lack of reversibility within 21 d (conjunctivae redness and chemosis).
