Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Although there is slight redness and corneal opacity left in one animal after 72 h, the decrease of the scores over the observation time and the slight characteristics of the observations make it reasonable to anticipate full reversibility after a slightly longer observation period. Therefore, the substance does not have to be classified according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
