Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate has to be considered as a serious eye irritant since an experimental study confirm that the substance has the potential to cause severe ocular irritancy.
In addition, Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate has to be considered as a moderate irritant (cat.3) according to an experimental study result on rabbit.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin irritation / corrosion
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
Eye irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
Additional information
In-vitro study on eye irritation confirm that Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate has the potentiel to cause severe ocular irritancy.
An experimental test on rabbits showed that Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate is a moderate irritant to skin.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: moderately irritating
Effects on eye irritation: highly irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate has to be classified as eye irritant category 1 according to CLP regulation, and the highest hazard statement - H318 : Causes serious eye damage - is then required.
In addition, Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate has to be considered as a moderate skin irritant (cat.3) according to ths Globally Harmonised Classification (H316 : causes mild skin irritation). Therefore, this hazard statement has not to be reproduced in the classification of the substance according to CLP regulation.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
