Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to well defined changes were found in the cornea, iris and conjunctiva such as scattered or diffuse opacity, markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling and moderate circumcorneal hyperemia of the iris and diffuse crimson color as well as obvious swelling and with partial eversion of eyelids, as far as the conjunctivae were concerned.
Findings were near to equal at 24 and 48 hours, but declined slightly after 72 hours. Changes of the cornea were reversible after 14 days and after 7 day in the other eye structures.
Other effects:
Slight lacrimation

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The Test Substance is classified to be Irritating to eyes under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The local eye irritating potential of TPI 1618 was investigated according to OECD 405 (2002) which equals Commission Directive 2004/73/EC B.5. TPI 1618 was found to be irritating to the eyes of rabbits. Maximal revovry period was 14 days.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

EUF was tested undiluted for primary skin reactions. In the most recently performed study (from 2008), no signs of irritation were observed. Therefore, no classification is required for skin irritation

In an eye irritation study (2008), EUF induced eye irritations, which were most likely due to the irritating properties of formaldehyde. No such effects can be expected from either ethylene glycol or urea respectively.

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

EUF induced corneal opacity as well as redness and chemosis of the conjunctiva. Proposal for classification and labelling of EUF according to Directive (EG) 1272/2008:

Signal Word: Warning, Hazard Statement: H319 – irritating to eyes (Cat. 2A).
