Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test item showed irritation in 3/6 unwashed eyes 24 h after instillation. In the remaining animals, no irritation was observed for any animal at any reading time point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
The test substance, applied at a concentration of 60% in water, did not induce eye irritation in an in vivo study similar to OECD guideline 405.
