Description of key information
In a reliable in vitro skin corrosion study human skin tissue (epidermis keratinocytes) was exposed to undiluted substance for 3-minutes and 1-hour. There was 99% and 94% tissue viability following the 3-minutes and 1-hour exposure points, respectively. Resultantly, the substance is considered to be a non-irritant and non-corrosive to skin.
In a reliable in vitro skin irritation study human skin tissue (epidermis keratinocytes) was exposed to the undiluted substance for 15-minutes. There was 109% tissue viability following the 15-minute exposure point. Resultantly, the substance is considered to be a non-irritant to skin.
In a reliable in vitro eye corrosion/irritation study isolated bovine cornea was exposed to neat substance for 240-minutes. The mean in vitro irritancy score was -2.8 and resultantly, the substance is considered to be a non-irritant to the eye.

- Executive summary:
The potential for the substance to cause skin irritation was evaluated employing an in vitro human three dimensional epidermal model (EPISKIN Small model (EPISKIN-SMTM)). The design of this study was based on the OECD Guideline 439. In vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method, (adopted 28 July 2015). The possible skin irritation potential of the substance was tested through topical application for 15 minutes. Cytotoxicity (irritancy) is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment.Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the substance compared to the negative control tissues was 109%. Therefore,the substance is considered to be a non-irritant.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects, such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. Those exhibiting defects were discarded.
TREATMENT METHOD: open chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: three washing steps
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: The opacity of a cornea was measured by the diminution of light passing through the cornea. The light was measured as illuminance (I = luminous flux per area, unit: lux) by a light meter.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of [UV/VIS spectrophotometry / microtiter plate reader] (OD490). After the incubation period, the medium in the posterior compartment of each holder was removed and placed into a sampling tube labelled according to holder number. 360 µl of the medium from each sampling tube was transferred to a 96-well plate. The optical density at 490 nm (OD490) of each sampling tube was measured in triplicate using a microplate reader (TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader).
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value)
