- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions of the study, the test item tested at two exposure periods of 3 minutes or 1 hour was non-cytotoxic and, hence, predicted to be non-corrosive to skin in an experiment employing an artificial three-dimensional model of human skin. Therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), and is thus considered to be not corrosive to the skin.

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
Prior to the testing, the test item was evaluated for colour changes. Concurrent negative controls (sterile deionised water) were run in parallel. 25 mg test item were mixed with 300 µL sterile deionised water and incubated in the dark at 37°C, 5% CO 2 and 95% relative humidity for 60 min. At the end of exposure time, the mixture was evaluated of the presence and intensity of the staining. No discolouration of the test item was noted.
In addition, 25 mg test item were mixed with 2 mL isopropanol and incubated at room temperature for three hours. No discolouration of the test item was noted. Hence, the criteria of the test on colour interference were met.
Furthermore, the test item was evaluated for the potential to interfere with the MTT assay reagent (e.g. reduction). A concurrent negative control (sterile deionised water) was run in parallel. 25 mg test item were added to 1 mL MTT solution and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO 2 and 95% relative humidity for 60 min. Untreated MTT solution was used as control. No discolouration of the test item was noted. No additional test had to be performed.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAE
Bovine eyes from cattle in the age range of 6 to 12 months were obtained from a slaughterhouse, containing penicillin at 100 IU/mL and streptomycin at 100 µg/mL. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the eyes were examined for defects such as but not limited to increased opacity, scratches, and neovascularisation. Only corneas from eyes free of defects were used. The quality of each cornea was also evaluated at later steps in the assay. Corneae that had opacity greater than seven opacity units or equivalent for the opacitometer and cornea holders used after an initial one hour equilibration period had to be discarded.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: 3 corneae incubated with 0.9% sodium chloride solution
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: 3 corneae incubated with 20% imidazole in 0.9% sodium chloride solution
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: each 750 µL were applied for each dosing for 240 min
TREATMENT METHOD: open chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: yes, for 90 min
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: at least three times
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: opacitometer
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate reader (OD490)
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
After correcting the opacity and mean permeability (OD 490 ) values for background opacity and the negative control permeability OD 490 values, the mean opacity, and permeability OD 490 values for each treatment group were combined in an empirically-derived formula to calculate an in vitro irritancy score (IVIS) for each treatment group as follows:
IVIS = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD 490 value)
DECISION CRITERIA: As recommended by the guideline. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean of 3 corneae (test group)
- Value:
- 0.629
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean of 3 corneae (negative control)
- Value:
- 0.93
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean of 3 corneae (positive control)
- Value:
- 95.182
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- positive indication of irritation
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: No
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes, opacity and permeability are below the upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneae treated with the respective negative or solvent/vehicle control.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, the positive control gives an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, the test item tested in the in vitro BCOP test method, had an IVIS value of 0.629, which is below the cut-off value of 3. Therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), and is thus considered to be not a severe irritant or corrosive to the eye.

Additional information
In vitro skin corrosion
The corrosive properties of of the test item to human skin was assessed in an experiment with an artificial three-dimensional model of human skin according to OECD Guideline 431 and under GLP conditions. The EpiDermTM model was employed.
In comparison to the negative control, the mean viability of cells exposed to the test item was 103.8% after a 3-minute exposure period and 94.1 % after a 1-hour exposure. The 3-minute exposure and the 1 -hour exposure values were above the cut-off percentage cell viability values distinguishing corrosive from non-corrosive test items of ≥ 50% and ≥ 15%, respectively. Therefore, the test item was non-corrosive in this skin model and is predicted to be non-corrosive to human skin.
In vitro skin irritation
The substance was assessed for cytotoxic properties to skin cells, which might lead to irritation of human skin, by using an artificial threedimensional model of human skin in accordance with OECD Guideline 439 and GLP. The EpiDerm™ model was employed.
The mean viability of cells exposed to the test item for 60 min and 42 hours post-treatment incubation was 100.4% of the negative control and, hence, was well above the cut-off percentage cell viability value that distinguishes irritant from non-irritant test items of > 50%. The test item was considered to be non-cytotoxic and predicted to be non-irritant to skin.
In vitro vivo eye corrosion/irritation
The possible potency of the substance of being 'ocular corrosive and severe irritant' was determined employing an in vitro system (Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay (BCOP))
according to OECD Guideline 437 and under GLP conditions.
Following treatment with the test item a mean opacity of 0.039 ± 0.271 and a mean permeability value of 0.039 ± 0.063 compared to the negative control were determined. The calculated IVIS of 0.629 ± 0.693 is below the cut-off value of 3. Hence, the test item did not show severely irritant or corrosive properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data indicate that the substance does not meet the classification criteria for skin corrosion/irritation or eye corrosion/irritation in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
There is no information available on respiratory irritation.
