Conclusions:
In this primary dermal irritation study in rabbit, TREGDMA is not a dermal irritant.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study similar to US FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.41, 6 rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of TREGDMA (according to supplier's information: purity ca. 95%) to approximately 2.5 cm² skin area. Two application sites per animal were treated, one site was left intact, the other was abraded. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Animals were observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored similar to FHSA Federal guideline 16 CFR 1500.41. This scoring system is similar to OECD guideline 404.

No dermal irritation response was observed on intact skin. 1/6 animals showed very slight edema (score 1) after 24 h on abraded skin; this effect was fully reversible within 72 h.

In this study, TREGDMA is not a dermal irritant.

Study performance does not comply with requirements of the relevant recent EU and OECD guidelines, where a less vigorous application regime with semi-occlusive dressing, an exposure period of 4 hours, treatment of only intact skin is stipulated.

Thus, it can be assumed, that a substance which shows no irritating activity under the application regime of guideline US FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.41 will also be non irritating under the application regimes of the relevant recent EU and OECD guidelines. Therefore the study is adequate for C&L purposes.

TEST ANIMALS
Three healthy adult rabbits of the New Zealand Whte strain were obtained from Harlan Interfauna
(UK) Ltd., Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England.
They were in the weight range of 2.4 to 2.6 kg and approximately 10 to 11 weeks of age, prior to
treatment (Day 1). All rabbits were acclimatised to the experimental environrnent.
The rabbits were selected without conscious bias for the study. They were housed individually in meta1
cages with perforated floors in Building R 1 4 Room 5.
A standard laboratory diet SDS Stanrab (P) SQC Rabbit Diet and drinkmg water were provided ad
libitum.
The batch of diet used for the study was analysed for nutrients, contarninants and micro-organisms.
Results of routine physical and chemical examination of drinking water as conducted by the supplier,
are made available to Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd as quarterly sumrnaries.
Amal room temperature was maintained at 16 to 20°C and relative hurnidity at 52 - 72%. These
environmental pararneters were recorded daily. Air exchange was maintained at approximately 19 air
changes per hour and lighting was controlled by means of a time switch to give 12 hours of artificial
light (0700 - 1900 hours) in each 24 hours period.
Each animal was identified by a numbered aluminium tag placed through the edge of one ear. This
nurnber was unique within the Huntingdon Life Sciences Acute Toxicology Departrnent throughout the
duration of the study. Each cage was identified by a coloured labe1 displayng the study schedule
number, animal number and initials of the Study Director and Home Office licensee.
Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Untreated skin areas of the test animals serve as the control (clipped).
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL undiluted test substance
Duration of treatment / exposure:
72 hours
Observation period:
Examination of the treated skin was made on Day 1 (ie approximately 60 minutes after removal of the
dressings) and on Days 2, 3 and 4 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure).
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TREATMENT PROCEDURE
Approximately 24 hours prior to application of the test substance, hair was removed with electric
clippers from the dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit exposing an area of skm approximately 100 mm x100 mm.
Approximately 0.5 ml of the test substance was applied under a 25 mrn x 25 mrn gauze pad to one
intact skin site on each animal.
Each treatment site was covered with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive dressing for four hours. The
animals were not restrained during the exposure period and were retumed to their cages immediately
after treatment.
At the end of the exposure penod, the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pad were removed and the
treatment site was washed with warm water (30' to 40°C) to remove any residual test substance. The
treated area was blotted dry with absorbent Paper.

OBSERVATIONS
Clinical signs
All animals were observed daily for signs of ill health or toxicity

Dermal responses
Examination of the treated skin was made on Day 1 (ie approximately 60 minutes after removal of the dressings) and on Days 2, 3 and 4 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure).

Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD TG 404, New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TREGDMA; CAS 109-16-0) for 72 hours. The mean erythema score was determined to be 0.00 out of 4 and, accordingly, the mean edema score 0.00 out of 4. Systemic toxic effects could not be detected as well.The results demonstrate that TREGDMA is not a dermal irritant. Therefore, the test substance has to be classified - according to GHS classification criteria - as non irritant to skin (GHS-hazard category: none).

Additional information

Reliable (RL=1-2),relevant and adequate data are available for the skin and eye irritation potential of TREGDMA.

 

Skin irritation

In a primary dermal irritation study similar to US FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.41, 6 rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of TREGDMA (according to supplier's information: purity ca. 95%) to approximately 2.5 cm² skin area. Two application sites per animal were treated, one site was left intact, the other was abraded. Test sites were covered with an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Animals were observed for 72 hours. Irritation was scored similar to FHSA Federal guideline 16 CFR 1500.41. This scoring system is similar to OECD guideline 404.

No dermal irritation response was observed on intact skin. 1/6 animals showed very slight edema (score 1) after 24 h on abraded skin; this effect was fully reversible within 72 h. In this study, TREGDMA is not a dermal irritant.

Study performance does not comply with requirements of the relevant recent EU and OECD guidelines, where a less vigorous application regime with semi-occlusive dressing, an exposure period of 4 hours, treatment of only intact skin is stipulated. Thus, it can be assumed, that a substance which shows no irritating activity under the application regime of guideline US FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.41 will also be non irritating under the application regimes of the relevant recent EU and OECD guidelines. Therefore the study is adequate for C&L purposes.

 

In a dermal irritation study in humans, 10 test persons were exposed to TREGDMA in concentrations of 1% and 3% in olive oil for 48 h using the Roc Neodermotest. No skin irritation was observed after 48 h. In this study under the conditions reported, TREGDMA is not a dermal irritant.

In a primary dermal irritation study according to the method of Draize rabbits were dermally exposed to TREGDMA in olive oil at concentrations of 10%, 50% and 100%. Primary dermal irritation indices (PDII) were 0.1, 1.6 and 2.7 – 3.4 for the 10, 50 and 100% groups, respectively.

In this study, TREGDMA is not a dermal irritant. 

 

Eye irritation

In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD guideline 405, adopted 24 February 1987, and EU method B.5, 0.1 mL of TREGDMA (purity ca. 95% according to supplier) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 3 young adult New Zealand White rabbits (1 male, 2 females) without washing. Animals then were observed for 3 days.  Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

No effects were observed in cornea and iris. Only minimal (grade 1) redness was observed in 1/3 animals 1 h after treatment. All eyes appeared normal at the 24, 48 and 72 h observations.

In this study, TREGDMA is not irritating to the rabbit eye.

 

Respiratory irritation

No data on the respiratory irritation of TREGDMA are available. 

 

There are no data gaps for the endpoint irritation/corrosion. No human information is available skin irritation with the undiluted test substance and for eye irritation. However, there is no reason to believe that the available results would not be applicable to humans.


Compliance to REACh requirements

The requirements are covered with reliable in vivo data, performed with the substance itself and before in vitro testing became current priority.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, TREGDMA does not need to be classified for eye irritation or skin irritation according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 . Thus, no labelling is required.
