- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- 100% test substance:
The test substance produced severe cutaneous irritation in all rabbits. Well-defined erythema with severe oedema extending beyond the treatment site was noted at all treated skin sites 1 h after removal of the patches. Moderate to severe erythema with slight to severe oedema extending beyond the test sites continued to be noted at all treated skin sites up to 72 h after treatment. Observation on Day 7 revealed very slight erythema in 2 animals. Hyperkeratinisation and desquamation was noted in all treated skin sites at this time.
25% test substance:
The test substance produced distinct cutaneous irritation in all rabbits. Well-defined erythema with slight to severe oedema extending beyond the test sites was noted at all treated skin sites 1 hour after removal of the patches. The erythema increased slightly at the 24-hour reading to show moderate to severe erythema at one treated site and well-defined erythema in a further two treated skin sites. The erythema continued and well-defined erythema was noted in 2/3 treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation; barely perceptible erythema was noted in the remaining test site. The oedema gradually regressed and very slight to slight oedema was noted in 2/3 treated skin sites at the 72-hour observation. Hyperkeratinisation was noted in 2/3 treated skin sites on Day.7. All test sites showed desquamation extending beyond the test site at this time.
5% test substance:
The test substance produced minimal cutaneous irritation in 3/3 rabbits. Barely perceptible erythema with minimal oedema was noted at all treated skin sites 1 h after removal of the patches. The erythema quickly regressed and all skin sites appeared normal at subsequent observations.
1% test substance:
The test substance produced minimal cutaneous irritation in 2/3 rabbits. Barely perceptible erythema with minimal oedema was noted at 2/3 treated skin sites 1 h after removal of the patches. The erythema quickly regressed and all skin sites appeared normal at subsequent observations. - Interpretation of results:
- other: Skin Irrit. Cat. 2 at 100% test substance
- Remarks:
- according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this skin irritation study in rabbits the test substance at concentration of 100% was irritating to the skin. Concentrations of 1, 5 and 25% of the test substance were considered not irritating to skin.
- Executive summary:
A skin irritation study was performed according to OECD 404 and GLP. The primary irritation test in rabbits was performed at 1, 5, 25 and 100 % in Ethanol.
The mean values for 24-72 hours in 3 rabbits for 1% and 5% in Ethanol were all 0.0. The mean values in 3 rabbits for 25% in Ethanol were for erythema 1.7, 2.0 and 2.3, for edema 0.7, 1.3 and 3.3.
Mean values for the pure test item at 24-72 hours in 3 rabbits: Erythema 3.0, 3.0, 3.0; edema 2.67, 3.33, 4.0, not fully reversible after 7 days. The post-observation time was only 7days and was not long enough to confirm supposed reversibility.
Under the conditions of this skin irritation study in rabbits the test substance at concentration of 100% was irritating to the skin. Concentrations of 1, 5 and 25% of the test substance were considered not irritating to skin.

- Source: Schlachthof Aschaffenburg, Aschaffenburg, Germany
- Characteristics of donor animals: at least 9 month old
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue: The isolated eyes were transported in Hank's Buffered Salt Solution (HBSS) at ambient temperature.
- Time interval prior to initiating testing: The corneae were isolated on the same day after delivery of the eyes and directly used in the BCOP test.
- Indication of any existing defects or lesions in ocular tissue samples: All eyes were carefully examined macroscopically for defects. Those presenting defects such as vascularization, pigmentation, opacity and scratches were discarded. - Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:

- Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
- 2 h
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- triplicates for each treatment and control group
- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS:
The cornea was carefully removed from the eye using scalpel and rounded scissors. A rim of about 2 mm of tissue (sclera) was left for stability and handling of the isolated cornea. Each cornea was mounted in a specially designed cornea holder.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS:
At the end of the equilibration period, the basal opacity was determined (t0). Each cornea with a value of the basal opacity >7 was discarded.
TREATMENT METHOD:
The cornea holder consists of anterior and posterior compartments, which interface with the epithelial and endothelial sides of the cornea, respectively. The endothelial side of the cornea was positioned against the sealing ring (O-ring) of the posterior part of the holder. The cornea was gently flattened over the O-ring but stretching was avoided. The anterior part of the holder was positioned on the top of the cornea and fixed in place with screws. Both compartments of the holder were filled with incubation medium. The posterior compartment was filled first to return the cornea to its natural convex position. The anterior compartment received the test substance or the controls on the surface of the corneae. The corneae were incubated in a horizontal position at 32 ± 1 °C in the water-bath for 10 minutes.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
The test substance was rinsed off from the application side with saline.
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: 2 h in a vertical position
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Corneal opacity was determined by the amount of light transmission through the cornea via an opacitometer (OP_KiT opacitometer, Electro Design, France).
- Corneal permeability: The passage of sodium fluorescein dye was measured with the aid of a microplate reader (Versamax Molecular Devices) at 490 nm.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA:
Test substance with an IVIS > 55 was regarded as severe irritant/corrosive and labelled Category 1.
Test substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 was regarded as non-irritant and labelled in no category.
Test substance with an IVIS > 3; ≤ 55 no prediction can be made. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean value of 3 corneae
- Value:
- 0.03
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- With the negative control (0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution in deionised water) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed.
The positive control (2-ethoxyethanol) showed clearly increased opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae fullfilling the criteria as severe irritating/corrosive.
Relative to the negative control, the test substance did not cause an increase of the corneal opacity or permeability.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The negative control resulted in an IVIS which was within two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The positive control resulted in opacity and permeability values that were less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneae treated with the respective negative control. - Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the BCOP assay the test substance was not irritating to the eye. Application of the test substance to bovine corneae resulted in a calculated mean IVIS of 0.03.
- Executive summary:
A Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test was performed according to OECD 437.
The in vitro irritancy score (IVIS) was 0.03 (threshold for classification ≥55.1 or ≤ 3). The test item did not cause an increase of the corneal opacity or permeability and is therefore not an eye irritant.

Additional information
Skin
The skin irritation potential of the test substance was determined by an in vivo skin irritation test in rabbits according to OECD Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP (1985). In this study the test substance at concentration of 100% was irritating to the skin. Concentrations of 1, 5 and 25% of the test substance were considered not irritating to skin.
Eye
The eye irritation potential of the test substance was determined in a bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test according to OECD Guideline 437 and in compliance with GLP (2016). In this study the test substance was not irritating to the eye.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin irritation meet the criteria for classification as Skin Irrit. Cat. 2 (H315) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
The available data on eye irritation do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
