Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Not irritating: Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Isotridecyl methacrylate has some mild irritating potential to skin.
However, it is non-irritating with respect to EU and UN-GHS classification criteria.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study (OECD 404, GLP) 3 New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed for 4 hours with 0.5 g undiluted Isotridecyl methacrylate under semiocclusiv conditions. Animals were observed after 1h, 24h, 48h 72h and after 8 or 9 days. The test was reevaluated acc. CLP criteria. Mean erythema scores after 24, 48 and 72 hours were 0, 0.33 and 0.66 of max. 4. Mean edema scores 0, 1.33 and 1.66 of max. 4. All reactions were fully reversible after 72 h or 8 days. Under CLP criteria Isotridecyl methacrylate is not irritating to skin.

The results demonstrate that Isotridecyl methacrylate (CAS 85736-97-6) is not a dermal irritant.

Therefore the test substance has to be classified - according to EU and GHS classification criteria - as non irritant for skin (GHS-hazard category: none).
