Description of key information
Skin irritation: Under the conditions of this in vitro EpiDerm skin test, the test article, 1-Hexadecanol, 1-(dihydrogen phosphate), (ColaFax CPE), 100% Active; with a mean viability of 78.8%, is not considered an irritant.
Eye irritation: Under the conditions of this in vitro EpiOcular test, with a mean tissue viability of 2.1%, the test article, 1-Hexadecanol, 1-(dihydrogen phosphate), (ColaFax CPE), 100% Active; is considered an irritant. However, the actual classification i.e. Eye irritant Cat 2 or eye damage Cat 1 cannot be distinguished precisely. It is highly likely though that the very low result compared with the positive control (methyl acetate = eye irritant Cat 2) i.e. 2.1% verses 47.3%, that from a precautionary approach, this substance should be classified as Eye Damage Cat 1

Protocol Date: 11/7/17 - Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- 1-Hexadecanol, 1-(dihydrogen phosphate), (ColaFax CPE), 100% Active; Lot Number: 64252F18
- Test system:
- human skin model
- Remarks:
- The reconstructed human epidermal model EpiDerm consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis.
- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Justification for test system used:
- EpiDerm, when used with the recommended cell metabolism assay, can quickly provide toxicological profiles. The procedure utilizes a water-soluble, yellow, tetrazolium salt (MTT {3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide}), which is reduced by succinate dehydrogenase in the mitochondria of viable cells to a purple, insoluble formazan derivative. Substances which damage this mitochondrial enzyme inhibit the reduction of the tetrazolium salt. The amount of MTT reduced by a culture is therefore proportional to the number of viable cells

The values are 14.11, 5.90 and 0.21 and they meet the acceptance criteria. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met

Reference
According to the EU and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, an irritant is predicted if the mean relative tissue viability of three individual tissues exposed to the test substance is reduced to below 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

The tissues were incubated for 18 +/- 0.25 hours at standard culture conditions (Post-treatment Incubation).
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- Duplicates
- Details on study design:
- *The EpiocularrM human cell construct (MatTek Corporation) is used in the assay. The use of EpiOcular cultures offers features appropriate for a model of ocular irritation. First, the model is composed of stratified human keratinocytes in a three-dimensional structure. Next, test materials can be applied topically to the model so that water insoluble materials may be tested . . . The toxicity of the test article (and thus the ocular initation potential) is evaluated by the relative
viability of the treated tissues relative to the negative control-treated tissues. Viability is determined by the NAD(P)H-dependent microsomal Enzyme reduction of MTT (and to a lesser extent, by the succinate dehydrogenase reduction of MTT) in control and test article-treated cultures."l - Irritation parameter:

As per MatTek and OECD 492,the assay meets the positive control criteria if the mean viability of the positive control tissues expressed as the percent of the negative control tissues is < 50%. The value is 47.3 and it meets the acceptance criteria
As per MatTek and OECD 492, the assay meets the acceptance criteria if the difference of viability between the two relating tissues of a single chemical is < 20% in the same run. The diflerences for all articles are below 20% and all meet the acceptance criteria. - Interpretation of results:

- Under the conditions of this test, with a mean tissue viability of 2.1%, the test article, 1-Hexadecanol, 1-(dihydrogen phosphate), (ColaFax CPE), 100% Active;
is considered an irritant. However, the actual classification i.e. Eye irritant Cat 2 or eye damage Cat 1 cannot be distinguished precisely.
It is highly likely though that the very low result compared with the positive control (methyl acetate = eye irritant Cat 2) i.e. 2.1% verses 47.3%, that from a precautionary approach, this substance should be classified as Eye Damage Cat 1
Reference
The test chemical is identified as not requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS (No Category) if the mean percent tissue viability after exposure and post-exposure incubation is more than (>) 60%. In this case no further testing in other test methods is required.
The test chemical is identified as potentially requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS (Category 2 or Category 1) if the mean percent tissue viability after exposure and post exposure incubation is less than or equal (<=) to 60%. When the final mean percent tissue viability is less than or equal (<=) to 60% further testing with other test methods will be required because the Epiocular EIT shows a certain number of false positive results and cannot resolve between UN GHS Categories I and 2.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
