It is described that it was expected to be a skin irritant (PATTY (6th, 2012)), and that this substance may cause defatting, drying and irritation (DFGOT vol.4 (1990)). Also, this substance was classified as "Skin. Irrit. 2 H315" in the EU CLP classification (ECHA C&L Inventory (Access on September 2016)). Therefore, the substance was classified in Category 2. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |

Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, it is described that it was expected to be an eye irritant (PATTY (6th, 2012)), and that it is a human eye irritant (HSDB (Access on September 2016)). However, the information was not adopted for the evidence of classification because no detailed information was available. |
