Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corneal or iridial effects were observed during the relevant observation period of the study. Moderate corneal irritation was only noted in both treated eyes one hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted at the 24-hour observation. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 48-hour observation.

Although only 2 animals have been tested the study is fully acceptable for assessment, as even a positive irritation response in a third animal would not lead to a classification according to the criteria of the OECD guidelines for studies performed with 3 animals. Therefore, testing of a third animal would have not increased validity of the study for regulatory purposes and was omitted due to animal welfare reasons.
Other effects:
Both animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Although only 2 animals were tested the study is fully acceptable for assessment from a regulatory point of view, as even contribution of a third animal demonstrating most severe irritation reactions would have no impact on final classification according to the criteria for eye irritation tests conducted with 3 animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
CLP: not classified
