Description of key information
Skin irritation: In vitro skin irritation (OECD 439, GLP)
The EpiDerm™ Skin Model (MatTek Corporation, MA, USA) was used to assess the potential dermal irritation of the test article. The MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) conversion assay, which measures the NAD(P)H-dependent microsomal enzyme reduction of MTT (and to a lesser extent, the succinate dehydrogenase reduction of MTT) to a blue formazan precipitate, was used to assess cellular metabolism after exposure to the test article. The protocol was based upon the OECD guideline, “In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method” (TG 439).
According to the prediction model presented in OECD TG 439, the test article was predicted to be non-Irritant (GHS No Category) since the treated tissues resulted in a mean tissue viability of 103.25%.
Eye irritation: In vitro eye irritation (OECD 437, GLP)
The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay (BCOP) was used to assess the potential ocular irritancy of the test article to isolated bovine corneas. Bovine corneas, obtained as a byproduct from freshly slaughtered animals, were mounted in special holders and exposed to the test article. An In Vitro Score was determined for the test article based on the induction of opacity and permeability (to fluorescein) in the isolated bovine corneas. The methods and procedures used in this assay were consistent with OECD Test Guideline 437: Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for
Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage (2020).
The In Vitro Score of the test article was 0.8. According to the prediction model presented in OECD TG 437, the test article was predicted to not require classification or labelling for ocular irritation (GHS No Category).

- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on test system:
- The EpiDerm'M Model (EPl-200) (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, USA) consists of normal, humanderived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly
differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDerm'M Model incorporates several features which make it advantageous in the study of potential dermal toxicity. First, the test system uses a serum-free medium which eliminates the possibility of serum protein and test article interaction (Shopsis and Eng, 1988). Secondly, the target cells are epithelial, derived from human skin. Third, since the tissue has a functional stratum corneum, the test materials are applied directly to the tissue surface, at air interface, so that undiluted and/or end use dilutions can be tested directly. Prior to use, each 6-, 24- and 96-well plate will be uniquely identified with a number written in permanent marker with the test article identification or control treatment group. - Control samples:

and 3) the standard deviation of the positive and negative control calculated from individual percent tissue viabilities of the three identically treated replicates were <= 18% (6.63% for the negative control and 0.19% for the positive control). - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- According to the prediction model presented in OECD TG 439, the test article was predicted to be non-Irritant (GHS No Category) since the treated tissues resulted in a mean tissue viability of
103.25%. - Executive summary:

Evaluation of Test Results for BCOP:
The following prediction models were used to evaluate the ocular irritancy potential as described by Sina et al. (1995)2 for non-regulatory purposes or as described in OECD TG 437 (2017).
The prediction model according to Sina et. al based on a wide range of materials (note: While this classification system provides a good initial guide to interpretation of these in vitro data, these specific ranges may not be applicable to all classes of materials or other exposure times. Whenever possible, results should be compared to “benchmark” materials tested under similar exposure conditions.):
In Vitro Score | Sina et al Prediction |
≤ 25 | Mild irritant |
> 25; ≤ 55 | Moderate irritant |
> 55 | Severe irritant |
Prediction model outlined in OECD TG 437:
In Vitro Irritation Score (IVIS) | UN GHS |
≤3 | No Category |
>3; ≤55 | No prediction can be made* |
>55 | Category 1 |
* - Additional testing would be required for a definitive classification of ocular irritation potential according to GHS
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
