- Conclusions:
- The test item is non corrosive to skin according to EU CLP and UN GHS.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test with EpiDerm™ tissues models.
The test item passed the pre-test for colour interference and for direct MTT reduction. Consequently, additional tests were not necessary.
Independent duplicate tissues of EpiDerm™ were exposed to either the test item, the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (8.0 N KOH) for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. After exposure of the tissues to the test item the relative absorbance value did not decrease (105.7%) after 3 minutes exposure. After 1 hour exposure the relative absorbance value was also not reduced (124.9%). Both values did not affect the threshold for corrosiveness which is defined to be 50% after the 3 minutes exposure and 15% after the 1 hour exposure. The required acceptability criteria were met. The test item is not considered to be corrosive.

Twenty five μl of the undiluted test substance was added into 12-well plates on top of the skin tissues. Three tissues were treated with 25 μl PBS (negative control) and 3 tissues with 25 μl 5% SDS (positive control) respectively. The positive control was re-spread after 7 minutes contact time. After the exposure period of 15 ± 0.5 minutes at room temperature, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test substance. After rinsing the cell culture inserts were each dried carefully and moved to a new well on 2 ml pre-warmed maintenance medium until all tissues were dosed and rinsed. Subsequently the skin tissues were incubated for 42 hours at 37°C.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: yes
- Time after start of exposure: 10 minutes
SCORING SYSTEM:
- After exposure the cornea is thoroughly rinsed to remove the test substance followed (possible pH effects of the test substance on the corneas were recorded) by incubation for 120 minutesat 32°C. Following the final opacity measurement, permeability of the cornea to Na-fluorescein was evaluated (incubation 90 minutes at 32°C).
- The mean opacity and mean permeability values (OD490) were used for each treatment group to calculate an in vitro score:
In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value).
Opacity and permeability values were also evaluated independently.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
- opacitymeter and microplate reader
DATA EVALUATION:
A test substance that induces an IVIS ≤ 3 is defined as non irritant, IVIS > 3 ≤ 55 mild to moderate and IVIS ≥ 55 is defined as a corrosive or severe irritant
ACCEPTABILITY OF THE ASSAY:
The assay is considered acceptable if:
- The positive control gives an in vitro irritancy score that falls within the laboratory historical mean value.
- The negative control responses should result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean_time point: 10 min
- Value:
- -1
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not examined
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes - Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Conclusions:
- The test item is not irritant or corrosive in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test performed according to OECD 437 guideline and GLP principles, as the test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3.
- Executive summary:
The test item was screened for the eye irritation and corrosion potential using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test performed according to OECD 437 guideline and GLP principles.
Adequate negative and positive controls were included and it was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.
The test item did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, opacity and permeability, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of -1.0 after 10 minutes of treatment. Based on the results, it is concluded that the test item is not irritant or corrosive in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test. Since the test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
Reference
The corneas treated with the test item showed opacity values ranging from -3 to 0 and permeability value was -0.002 for all three corneas. The corneas were clear after the 10 minutes of treatment with the test item. No pH effect of the test substance was observed on the rinsing medium. Hence, the in vitro irritancy scores ranged from -3.0 to 0.0 after 10 minutes of treatment with the test item.
Endpoint conclusion

Additional information
Skin irritation:
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 18% (individual values of 25, 19 and 10%). Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was below or equal to 50% it is considered to be irritant.

An in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test with EpiDerm™ tissues models. The test item passed the pre-test for colour interference and for direct MTT reduction. Consequently, additional tests were not necessary.

The test item is not considered to be corrosive.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. Based on this data, the substance is considered to be irritant to the skin (Cat. 2, H315) and is not considered to be irritant to the eye under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EC) No 2017/776.
