Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A reliable study, conducted according to OECD 405 and GLP, reported transient irritation, particularly of the conjunctiva, from a 65% aqueous solution of CHPTAC, that had resolved by 96 h. The scores would not meet EU criteria for classification.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study (OECD 405), 0.1 mL of CHPTAC (65%) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. Animals were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Only very mild conjunctival reactions were observed, which were fully reversible within 96 hours. In this study, the test item is not an eye irritant.
