Additional information
There are valid in-vivo data available for the assessment of the skin and eye irritation potential of (5-ethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methyl acrylate.
Skin
In an acute dermal irritation or corrosion study according to OECD 404 and GLP, 0.5 ml of the test substance were topically applied to the intact skin of three New Zealand White rabbits for 4 hours under semiocclusive dressing (Cray Valley, 1999). Moderate to severe or severe erythema and moderate or severe oedema were observed in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits. The skin irritation had resolved in all animals at termination (after 14 days). Scaliness was observed among the animals after 7 days and/or 14 days. Bald skin was noted in two animals at termination (after 14 days).
In a second in vivo study according to OECD 404 and GLP, 0.5ml of the test substance were applied to the intact skin of 6 New Zealand White rabbits for 4h under semi-occlusive conditions (BASF, 1998). Moderate to severe erythema with moderate oedema and desquamation (characterised by dryness and sloughing) was noted in one rabbit. Reactions were persistent in this animal until study termination on day 14. Well-defined erythema with or without very slight oedema was seen in three animals, that were fully reversible either after 7 or 8 days. Transient very slight erythema only was observed in one further animal up to 24h after removal of the dressing. No dermal reactions were seen in the sixth animal.
Eye:
3 New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to a single ocular application of 0.1ml of the test substance on day 0 in a GLP study according to EU Method B.5 (Cray Valley 1993) . Slight irritation was observed 1h after installation, which was reversible within the first day. Thus, the average scores (24 to 72h) for all rabbit were calculated to be 0.0 for corneal opacity, 0.0 for iris, 0.0 for conjunctivae redness, and 0.0 for chemosis.
Effect level: empty Endpoint conclusion: Adverse effect observed
Justification for classification or non-classification
In two studies, skin irritation was observed. Though severity of these reactions in the second study just miss the classification criteria according to CLP/EU-GHS, reactions in one rabbit persisted until the end of the study and more severe skin reactions were observed in the first study. No corrosion was observed in both studies Thus (5-ethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)methyl acrylate is classified as R38 according to 67/548/EEC and as skin irritant Category 2 according CLP/EU-GHS.
Since no eye irritation was observed 24 h to 72 h after instillation, classification according to 67/548/EEC or CLP/EU-GHS is not justified.
