Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Reaction mass of methacrylic acid and N-[2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)ethyl]methacrylamide is classified as Eye Dam. 1 (H318) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and as Xi, R41 according to the Directive 67/548/EEC as irreversible effects on the eyes are observed in all 3 animals.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed similarly to the OECD No. 405 guideline, 0.1 mL of undiluted Reaction mass of methacrylic acid and N-[2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)ethyl]methacrylamide was instilled into the right eye of 3 Albino New Zealand Rabbits.

The eyes were not washed following the instillation of the substance.

Animals were then observed for 14 days for redness, chemosis and discharge of the conjonctiva, corneal opacity and iris lesion. 

Eye irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the instillation of the substance and then at days 7 and 14. The mean individual score were calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs).

The mean individual scores were 1.0/2.0/2.0 for chemosis, 0.7/1.0/1.0 for iris lesion, 2.0/2.0/2.0 for conjunctival redness, and 2.0/3.0/3.0 for corneal opacity. All of these effects were not reversible within the termination of the study (14 days) in all animals.

Under the test conditions, Reaction mass of methacrylic acid and N-[2-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)ethyl]methacrylamide is classified as Eye Dam. 1 (H318) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and as Xi, R41 according to the Directive 67/548/EEC as irreversible effects on the eyes are observed in all 3 animals.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
