Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

2 -Hydroxypropyl methacrylate was tested in a primary skin irritation test to rabbits according to "Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in food, drugs and cosmetics by the Staff of the Division of Parmacology, FDA, 1959 in food, drugs and cosmetics". .Therefore Hydroxypropyl methacrylate is not irritating according to EU-CLP requirements.
