Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance was found to be non-irritating in the Bovine Corneal Opacity & Permeability (BCOP) Assay
Executive summary:

In this GLP guidline study conducted according to OECD method 437 and US EPA Method OPPTS 870.1000 using the Bovine Corneal Opacity & Permeability (BCOP) Assay, the subtance showed no signs for eye irritation potential and, thus, can be regarded as non-irritating according to UN GHS Criteria.
