Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reversibility of any observed effect: Changes fully reversible within 1 day
Other effects:
A single instillation of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced minimal conjunctival irritation. Alopecia (loss of fur around the treated eye) was noted in all animals. No ocular effects were noted at the 24-hour observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The test material, S-900, produced a maximum group mean score of 4.7 and was classified as a MINIMAL IRRITANT (CLASS 3 ON A 1 TO 8 SCALE) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

The test material did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the EU labelling regulations.
