Additional information

Diethyl carbonate was tested in rabbits in a study equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline 404. The treatment gave no indications for skin irritation.

Diethyl carbonate was tested in rabbits in a study equivalent or similar to OECD Guideline 405. The treatment gave no indications for eye irritation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

As diethyl carbonate showed no skin irritation and eye irritation, no classification according to EU and GHS criteria is required.
