- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study performed similarly to OECD Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, three New Zealand White male rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate, under a semi-occlusive patch (25 mm X 25 mm) for 4 h to intact clipped skin of the dorso-lumbar region. After removal of the residual test material, animals were observed for 4 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize at Day 1 (approximately 60 min after removal of the dressings) and Days 2, 3 and 4 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 h) after exposure.
No dermal reactions and signs of toxicity to treatment were observed in any animal throughout the observation period. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were respectively 0, 0, 0 for erythema and 0, 0, 0 for oedema score. In this study, Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate is not a skin irritant on male rabbits.
Under the test conditions, Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate is not classified as irritating to skin according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).

Additional information
Skin irritation (read-across)
In the study on Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate (Parcell 1993), three rabbits were dermally exposed under a semi-occlusive patch for 4h to intact clipped skin of th
e dorso-lumbar region. After removal of the residual test material, animals were observed for 4 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize at Day 1 (approximately 60 min after removal of the dressings) and Days 2, 3 and 4 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 h) after exposure.No dermal reactions and signs of toxicity to treatment were observed in any animal throughout the observation period. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were respectively 0, 0, 0 for erythema and 0, 0, 0 for oedema score.
According to this study, Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate is not a skin irritant on rabbits.
Eye irritation (read-across)
In the study on Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate (Parcell 1993), eye irritation study conductedsimilarlyto the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, 3 healthy female rabbits of the New Zealand White strain were exposed to 0.1 mL of Bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate (SR 349) in one eye, while the contralateral eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing. The eyes were examined unwashed and the changes were observed at 1 h and 1, 2, 3 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 h), 4 and 7 days after instillation and graded according to the method of Draize (1977).
No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was observed. Temporary mild conjunctival reactions only were seen. All the eyes were normal one day after instillation. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 0, 0, 0 for cornea score; 0, 0, 0 for iris score; 0, 0, 0 for conjunctivae score and 0, 0, 0 for chemosis score. In this study, Bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate is not an eye irritant on female rabbits.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
A read-across is proposed for this endpoint with Ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate and 2 moles Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate. The study on Ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate is flagged as key study because of the composition of target substance (Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate).
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
A read-across is proposed for this endpoint with Ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate and 2 moles Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate. The study on Ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate is flagged as key study because of the composition of target substance (Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate).
Justification for classification or non-classification
No damage or irritation on the skin was observed in the rabbit study. Bisphenol A ethoxylated methacrylate is considered to be not irritating for skin. No classification is expected for skin irritation endpoint, according to the Regulation EC n°1272/2008 and the Directive 67/548/EEC.
No irritation was observed on eyes in the rabbit study. Bisphenol A ethoxylated methacrylate is considered to be irritating for eyes. No classification is expected for eye irritation endpoint, according to the Regulation EC n°1272/2008 and the Directive 67/548/EEC.
No study by inhalation is available to evaluate the irritant potential of Bisphenol A ethoxylated methacrylate on the respiratory tract. But, as the substance is not skin or eye irritant, no irritation on the respiratory tract is expected. No classification is proposed.
