Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study ( according to Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics, FAD Draize (1959)) 0.1 mL undiluted Methacrylic acid ester 12.6 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 Methacrylic acid ester 12.6 is not irritating to eyes.

OECD GHS Category: none
