- Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- It was concluded that 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol, produced an IVIS score of 49.71
and no prediction can be made in respect of its potential to cause eye irritation. It is
noted that the IVIS is at the higher end of the no prediction (>3 - ≤55) range.,
based on the value of ivis and precautionary principle the substance is classified as Eye irritation cat. 2b
