Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material produced no evidence of positive ocular irritation in any rabbit. A dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea was observed in one rabbit at the one hour reading only. Mild conjunctival inflammation, with or without slight swelling was observed in all three rabbits at this reading. The reactions had ameliorated completely in two rabbits by the 48 hours reading. Mild conjunctival inflammation only was seen in the remaining rabbit until the 48 hour observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The in vivo eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, found HMDTMP sodium salt (CAS 56744-47-9) to be not irritating to the rabbit eye.
