Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A mean erythema score (24/72 h) calculated over all 6 animals for intact skin of 2 and for abraded skin of 1.58 was observed. The oedema score was determined to be 1.92 for intact skin and 1.50 for abraded skin.
Taking the test conditions into account, in particular the 24 hour exposure period compared with 4 hours of current test methods (described in OECD TG 404, MTHPA has not to be classified and labelled as dermal irritant according to CLP (1272/2008/EEC), and according to 67/548/EEC (DSD).
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 ml of Methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) for 24 hours. Irritation was assessed after 24 and 72 hours and reaction scored according to the Draize scale.

A mean erythema score (24/72 h) calculated over all 6 animals for intact skin of 2 and for abraded skin of 1.58 was observed. The oedema score was determined to be 1.92 for intact skin and 1.50 for abraded skin.

Taking the test conditions into account, in particular the 24 hour exposure period compared with 4 hours of current test methods (described in OECD TG 404), MTHPA has not to be classified and labelled as dermal irritant according to CLP (1272/2008/EEC), and according to 67/548/EEC (DSD).
