GHS classifications indicate a potential for skin irritation (H315), eye irritation (H319), and being harmful in contact with skin (H312) in 13.8% of reported cases; however, it did not meet GHS hazard criteria in 86.2% of reports. One human experience study reported no irritation or sensitization at a 4% solution.
