Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctiva of the eye showed necrosis after 1 hour. All eye tissue surrounding the eyeball itself was completely necroses and colored black after 24 hours and later. One rabbit showed a hemorraged eye after 1 hour. Bloody discharge from the eye was observed in this rabbit after 7days, while the others showed no discharge.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study the test substance can be regarded as causing serious eye damage.
