Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Skin irritation:
A GLP guideline study (OECD TG 404) study for assessment of skin irritation of Dimethylmalonate is available. Three rabbits (Small white russian, Chbb: HM, SPF) were treated with the undiluted test substance for 4 h under semiocclusive conditions. Slight erythema (grade 1) was observed in all 3 animals 30 to 60 min after removal of the patch. These findings were fully reversible within 24 hours. The mean values (24, 48, and 72h) of erythema and edema were 0 for all animals. Thus, the test substance is not irritating to the skin.
Eye irritation:
A GLP guideline study (OECD TG 405) study for assessment of eye irritation of Dimethylmalonate is available. Three rabbits (Small white russian, Chbb: HM, SPF) were treated with 0.1 mL of the undiluted test substance for 24 h. Then the test substance was washed out. Corneal opacity was observed in all 3 animals (mean score 24, 48, 72 h: 1, 1.33, 1.67), but was fully reversible within 6 days. Iris mean score (24, 48, 72 h) was 1, 0.33, 0.67. Iris score was also fully reversible within 6 days. Conjunctivae mean score (24, 48, 72 h) was 2 for all animals, and was fully reversible within 8 days. Also chemosis scores were fully reversible within 8 days (mean scores 24, 48 , 72 h: 1.33, 1.33, 1.67). Thus, the test substance is irritating to the eye.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)
- No classification required for skin and eye irritation.
Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (last amended by EC/286/2008 (2011-03-10)):
- No classification required for skin irritation.
- The test substance is classified as an eye irritant, Cat. 2.
