Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Conclusions:
The mean scores obtained with 2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane at 24, 48 and 72 h were 0.8 for cornea, 0.4 for iris, 1.9 for conjunctivae and 0.7 for chemosis, therefore it is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD Guideline No 405, 3 male albino rabbits of the stock New Zealand White were exposed to 0.1 mL of undiluted 2 -vinyl-1,3 -dioxolane in one eye, while other eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyelids were then gently held together for one hour before releasing. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment and graded according to the method of OECD Guideline No 405.

The calculated mean scores for each individual lesions for all animals within three scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were as follows: 0.8 for cornea score; 0.4 for iris score; 1.9 for conjunctivae score and 0.7 for chemosis score. All effects were reversible on Day 5.

Therefore, 2 -vinyl-1,3 -dioxolane is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to Directive 67/548/EEC and CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
