- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product for its ability to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product was tested through application of undiluted (50 µL) test item directly on top of the skin tissue for 3 minutes and 1 hour. The study procedures were based on the most recent OECD 430 guidelines.
The positive control had a mean relative tissue viability of 6.4% after the 1-hour exposure. The absolute mean OD570(optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit </=2.8) and the laboratory historical control data range. In the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was 23%,indicating that the test system functioned properly.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 102% and 108%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment the test item is considered to be not corrosive.

The objective of this study was to evaluate Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product for its ability to induce skin irritation on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EPISKIN Small model (EPISKIN-SMTM)). The possible skin irritation potential of Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product was tested through topical application for 15 minutes.
The study procedures were based on the most recent OECD TG 439 and EC Guideline 440/2008.
Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product was applied undiluted (25 μL) directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with Soya/Linseed Oil
Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product compared to the negative control tissues was 75%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction
product was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product is considered to be non-irritant.
The positive control had a mean cell viability of 20% 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 with the negative control was ≤ 23%, which was slightly
above the acceptability criteria. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically with either positive control or test
item was < 10%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
In conclusion, Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should
not be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations.

- Preparation of Corneas
The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects, such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. Those exhibiting defects were discarded.
The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish with cMEM (Earle’s Minimum Essential Medium containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) Foetal Bovine Serum . The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder (one cornea per holder) of BASF (Ludwigshafen, Germany) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder.. The compartments of the corneal holder were filled with cMEM of 32 +/- 1C. The corneas were incubated for the minimum of 1 hour at 32 +/- degrees C.
Cornea Selection and Opacity Reading
After the incubation period, the medium was removed from both compartments and replaced with fresh cMEM. Opacity determinations were performed on each of the corneas using an opacitometer (BASF-OP3.0, BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany). 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.
Treatment of Corneas and Opacity Measurements
The medium from the anterior compartment was removed and 750 ul of either the negative control, positive control (Ethanol) or test item was introduced onto the epithelium of the cornea. The holders were slightly rotated, with the corneas maintained in a horizontal position, to ensure uniform distribution of the control or the test item over the entire cornea. Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for 10 +/- 1 minutes at 32 +/- degrees C. After the incubation the solutions were removed and the epithelium was washed with MEM with phenol red and thereafter with cMEM. Possible pH effects of the test item on the corneas were recorded. The medium in the posterior compartment was removed and both compartments were refilled with fresh cMEM. Subsequently the corneas were incubated for 120 +/- 10 minutes at 32 +/- 1 degrees C. After the completion of the incubation period opacity determination was performed. Each cornea was inspected visually for dissimilar opacity patterns.
Following the final opacity measurement, permeability of the cornea to Na-fluorescein was evaluated. The medium of both compartments (anterior compartment first) was removed. The posterior compartment was refilled with fresh cMEM. The anterior compartment was filled with 1 mL of 4 mg Na-fluorescein/mL cMEM solution. The holders were slightly rotated, with the corneas maintained in a horizontal position, to ensure uniform distribution of the sodium-fluorescein solution over the entire cornea. Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for 90 +/- 5 minutes at 32 +/- 1 degrees C.
After the incubation period, the medium in the posterior compartment of each holder was removed and placed into a sampling tube labelled according to holder number. 360 μL of the medium from each sampling tube was transferred to a 96-well plate. The optical density at 490 nm (OD490) of each sampling tube was measured in triplicate using a microplate reader (TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader). Any OD490 that was 1.500 or higher was diluted to bring the OD490 into the acceptable range (linearity up to OD490 of 1.500 was verified before the start of the experiment). OD490 values of less than 1.500 were used in the permeability calculation. The mean OD490 for each treatment was calculated using cMEM corrected OD490 values. If a dilution has been performed, the OD490 of each reading of the positive control and the test item was corrected for the mean negative control OD490 before the dilution factor was applied to the reading. - Irritation parameter:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the eye hazard potential of Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product as measured by its ability to induce opacity and increase
permeability in an isolated bovine cornea using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeabilitytest (BCOP test).
The study procedures were based on the most recent OECD guideline 437. The test item was applied as it is (750 μL) directly on top of the corneas.
The negative control responses for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on
the corneas. The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (Ethanol) was 40 and was within two standard deviations of the current historical positive control mean. It was
therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.
Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of -1.4 after 10 minutes of
treatment.
In conclusion, since Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product induced an IVIS ≤ 3, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.

Additional information
Skin irritation
The objective of this study was to evaluate Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product for its ability to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product was tested through application of undiluted (50 µL) test item directly on top of the skin tissue for 3 minutes and 1 hour. The study procedures were based on the most recent OECD 430 guidelines.
The positive control had a mean relative tissue viability of 6.4% after the 1-hour exposure. The absolute mean OD570(optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit </=2.8) and the laboratory historical control data range. In the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was 23%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 102% and 108%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment the test item is considered to be not corrosive.
The objective of this study was to evaluate Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product for its ability to induce skin irritation on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EPISKIN Small model (EPISKIN-SMTM)). The possible skin irritation potential of Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product was tested through topical application for 15 minutes.
The study procedures were based on the most recent OECD TG 439 and EC Guideline 440/2008.
Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product was applied undiluted (25 μL) directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with Soya/Linseed Oil
Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product compared to the negative control tissues was 75%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction
product was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product is considered to be non-irritant.
The positive control had a mean cell viability of 20% 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 with the negative control was ≤ 23%, which was slightly
above the acceptability criteria. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically with either positive control or test
item was < 10%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
In conclusion, Soya/Linseed Oil Fatty Acid-BADGE reaction product is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should not be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations.
