Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item caused mild to moderate signs of irritation in rabbit eyes (cornea opacity, conjunctivae redness, chemosis), all signs were fully reversible within 7 d. However, the classification criteria of the CLP Regulation were not met. Therefore, the substance is not classifiable.
