Additional information

In a study on skin irritation of MVE (Dow 1990) there was no erythema, edema, or other irritation in any of 6 New Zealand White rabbits one hour and 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, or 14 days after exposure (occlusive for 4 h) to 0.5 mL of undiluted, cold liquid test substance.

The instillation of 0.1 mL undiluted, cold liquid to the eye resulted only in minor transient conjunctival irritation in 5/6 New Zealand White rabbits 24 h after application; the effects were fully reversible within 24 h (Dow 1990).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification for skin or eye irritation is not warranted according to the criteria of EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
