Value:
49.71
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Interpretation of results:
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
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
