Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In a primary pre-guideline eye irritation study ( according to Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics, FAD Draize (1959)) 0.1 mL undiluted Ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits, (2.4 -2.6 kg body weight) for 72 hours (not rinsed). Animals were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored according to Draize scoring and re-evalutated according OECD-GHS criteria.

In this study Ethyleneglycol dimethacrylat is not irritating to eyes.

OECD GHS Category: none
