Description of key information

Old studies showed that EDTA-CaNa2 is not irritating to skin and slightly irritating to eyes. These results were confirmed by other in vivo / in vitro skin and eye irritation studies with other metal EDTA chelates. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
This study was conducted prior to GLP and limited information is available for the interpretation of study results; however, together with results of skin irritation studies with other metal chelates sufficient ifnormation is available for interpretation.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
This study was conducted prior to GLP and limited information is available for the interpretation of study results; however, together with results of eye irritation studies with other metal chelates sufficient ifnormation is available for interpretation.

Effects on eye irritation: slightly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the absence of skin irritation and presence of slight eye irritation only, no classifcation is needed for skin and eye irritation.
