Other effects:
No observations were recorded at the end of one hour. Scattered, diffuse corneal opacity and slight iridial changs persisted for up to 21 days. The reversibility of the eye effects is unclear from the information in the Belgian c.a. summary, but irritation would appear to have been protracted. Irrigation of the eyes for 30 seconds reduced only slightly the severity of the lesion.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
N-(n-octyl)-2-pyrrolidinone is classified as a severe eye irritant, R41. Howeer, in view of the use of R34, these R phrases are not required
Executive summary:

An annex V guideline has been followed. N-(n-octyl)-2 -pyrrolidinone is found to be severely irritating to eyes, with an R41 classification. However, this is overridden in view of the R34 classification.
