- ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
The quality criteria to deem the results of the assay to be considered acceptable are:
Negative Control
The absolute OD570 of the negative control treated tissues in the MTT-test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained in the testing laboratory after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. The mean OD570 of the two negative control tissues should be ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for each exposure time. The mean OD570 of the negative control was within this range and within the historical control range, therefore this criterion was met.
Positive Control
Potassium Hydroxide 8.0N solution was used as a positive control. An assay meets the acceptance criterion if the mean relative tissue viability of the 60 minute positive control is <15%. The mean relative tissue viability was 6.4% therefore this criterion was met. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item is a not corrosive based on the results from an OECD guideline 431 study.
- Executive summary:
The skin corrosion potential of the test item was assessed in an in vitro skin corrosion study.The study is assigned a reliability score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) as it followed OECD Guideline 431: In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method and as it is compliant with GLP. 50 µL of the test item was applied undiluted to the EpiDerm tissue for 3 minutes and 1 hour. Negative and positive controls were also tested. All validity criteria for the study were met. The test item had a mean tissue viability of 81% after a 3-minute application and a mean tissue viability of 84% after a 1-hour application. The test item is therefore non-corrosive to the skin.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
Preparation: The eyes were checked for defects such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. The isolated corneas were then stored in a petri dish with Earle’s Minimum Essential Medium (cMEM) containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) Foetal Bovine Serum. The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder. The anterior half of the holder was positioned on top of the cornea and tighten with screws. The compartments of the corneal holder were filled with cMEM at 32 +/- 1 °C.
Selection: The corneas were incubated for a minimum of 1 hour at 32 +/-1 °C. The opacity of each cornea was read against a cMEM filled chamber, and the initial opacity reading thus determined was recorded. Corneas that had an initial opacity reading higher than 7 were not used. Three corneas were selected at random for each treatment group.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
The eyes were checked for defects such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. The opacity of each cornea was read against a cMEM filled chamber, and the initial opacity reading thus determined was recorded. Corneas that had an initial opacity reading higher than 7 were not used.

- Others (e.g, pertinent visual observations, histopathology): Not specified.

- Executive summary:
The study is assigned a reliability score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) as it followed OECD Guideline 437: Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method and is also compliant with GLP. 750 µL of the undiluted test item was applied directly on top of the corneas for 10 minutes.
The positive control mean in vitro irritancy score (39) was within two standard deviations of the current historical positive control mean. The negative control values for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range. The validity criteria for the study were therefore met.
The test item induced an In vitro irritancy score of less than 3, which concludes no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.

Eurlings (2017a) assessed the skin corrosion potential of the test item in an in vitro skin corrosion study.The study is assigned a reliability score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) as it followed OECD Guideline 431: In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method and as it is compliant with GLP. 50 µL of the test item was applied undiluted to the EpiDerm tissue for 3 minutes and 1 hour. Negative and positive controls were also tested. All validity criteria for the study were met. The test item had a mean tissue viability of 81% after a 3-minute application and a mean tissue viability of 84% after a 1-hour application. The test item is therefore non-corrosive to the skin.
Groot (2017) is assigned a reliability score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) as it followed OECD Guideline 439: In Vitro Skin irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test and as it is compliant with GLP. 25 µL of the test item was applied undiluted to the EpiSkin tissue for 15 minutes followed by a 42 hour post-exposure incubation period. Negative and positive controls were also tested. The positive control had a mean cell viability of 11% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was < 7%. Therefore, all validity criteria were met.
The substance under test conditions had a mean tissue viability of 87% compared to the negative control. This value is above the threshold for irritancy (≤50%). This concludes the test item is not a skin irritant.
For the assessment of eye irritation potential, Eurlings (2017b) is assigned a reliability score of 1 (reliable without restrictions) as it followed OECD Guideline 437: Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method and is also compliant with GLP. 750 µL of the undiluted test item was applied directly on top of the corneas for 10 minutes.
The positive control mean in vitro irritancy score (39) was within two standard deviations of the current historical positive control mean. The negative control values for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range. The validity criteria for the study were therefore met.
The test item induced an In vitro irritancy score of less than 3, which concludes no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results from Klimisch 1 studies following OECD guidelines 431 and 439, the test item is not corrosive to the skin and does not require classification as a skin irritant.
An OECD 437 in vitro BCOP assay has also been conducted with the test item and this confirms that the test item does not require classification as an eye irritant.
