- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, 3 healthy male rabbits of the New Zealand White strain were exposed to 0.1 mL of undiluted submitted substance 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol in their left eye while the right eye remained untreated and served as control. The treated eye of the animals was rinsed after scoring with deionised water 24 hours following application. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and up to Day 21 after treatment and graded according to the Draize method.
Mean scores calculated for each animal over 24, 48 and 72 hours were as follows:
. corneal opacity: 0.3, 1 and 1
. iris lesions: 0.3, 1 and 0.7
. redness of the conjunctiva: 1.3, 2 and 2
. chemosis: 0.3, 1 and 1
Signs of ocular irritation were observed at 1h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 7d and 14d. All ocular reactions reverted on day 21. In this study, 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol is an eye irritant on male rabbits.
Under the test conditions, 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol is classified as Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP) and Categor 2A (Cause serious eye irritation) according to GHS UN.

Additional information
In a primary dermal irritation study performed according to OECD Guideline 404 and in compliance with the GLP, three male New Zealand White rabbits exposed for 4 hours to 0.5 mL undiluted 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol under a gauze dressing showed no signs of irritation.
In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with the GLP, undiluted 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol induced reversible eye irritation in three male New Zealand White rabbits. Signs of ocular irritation were observed at 1h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 7d and 14d. All ocular reactions reverted on day 21.
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the submission substance is expected to be not irritating to the skin, it is not classified for skin irritation according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP) and GHS UN.
As the submission substance is expected to induce reversible effects on the eyes, it is classified as Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 (CLP) and as Category 2A (H319: Causes serious eye irritation) according to GHS UN.
