Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The first experiment at the test facility failed and so a second experiment at MatTek laboratories was undertaken. The conclusion of this second experiment is that the Test Substance is classed as an Irritant according the GHS classification.
Executive summary:

Test Substance is classed as an Irritant according the GHS classification.
