Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
not skin irritating
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate is not classified as irritating to the skin.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study performed according 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 epoxy diacrylate, under a semi-occlusive bandage for 4 hours to clipped skin of the flank (150 cm2). Animals were then observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of OECD Guideline 404 at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure.

There was no irritant effect at any observation time point. In this study, Bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate is not a dermal irritant on male rabbits.
