Irritant / corrosive response data:
Animal No. 1 and 3 showed redness grade 1 of the conjunctivae 1 hour post instillation. 24 hours post instillation until the end of the observation period no signs of irritation were recorded.
Animal No. 2 showed redness grade 1 of the conjunctivae 1 hour, as well as 24 hours post instillation. 48 hours, as well as 72 hours post instillation no signs of irritation were recorded.
Other effects:
Throughout the observation period not weight loss was observed for the test animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In conclusion, under the conditions chosen for the present study (according to OECD 405 and GLP) the test substance did not show eye irritating potential. Only one animal showed a slight redness of the conjunctivae which was fully reversed after 48 hours. Therefore, the test substance does not need to be classified for eye irritation.
