Description of key information
Skin irritation / corrosion:
In vitro: The possible corrosive potential of the test item was tested through topical application for 3 minutes and 1 hour on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)) based on OECD 431.
The test item is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test.
To evaluate for its ability to induce skin irritation, the test item was topically applied on a human three dimensional epidermal model, according to OECD Guideline 439.
The test item is a non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test.
Eye irritation:
The eye damage of the test item was tested through topical application for approximately 240 minutes in an isolated bovine cornea using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP test) according to OECD 437.
Since the test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3 in 5 out of 6 corneas, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The test item was checked for color interference in aqueous conditions. Addition of the test item to Milli-Q and isopropanol resulted after subtraction of the blank in an OD of 0.0007 and 0.0058, respectively. Therefore it was concluded that the test item did not induce color interference.
In addition, because no color change was observed in the presence of MTT it was concluded that the test item did not interact with the MTT endpoint.
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. The mean relative tissue viability following the 1-hour exposure to the positive control was 7.2%.
In the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was ≤14%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. - Interpretation of results:
- other: Not corrosive
- Conclusions:
- The test item is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate test item for its ability to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of the test item was tested through topical application for 3 minutes and 1 hour based on OECD 431.
Skin tissue was moistened with 25 µL of Milli-Q water and at least 25 mg of the test item was applied directly on top of the skin tissue.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 91% and 99%, 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.
In conclusion, the test item is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.

- not specified
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: Bovine eyes from young cattle were obtained from the slaughterhouse, where the eyes were excised by a slaughterhouse employee as soon as possible after slaughter.
- Transport: Eyes were collected and transported in physiological saline in a suitable container under cooled conditions and tested the day of arrival in the laboratory.
- Selection and preparation of corneas:
The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish with cMEM (Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) Fetal Bovine Serum). The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder (one cornea per holder) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder. The anterior half of the holder was positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The compartments of the corneal holder were filled with cMEM of 32±1℃. The corneas were incubated for the minimum of 1 hour at 32±1℃.
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. 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 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. - Vehicle:

- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 240 ± 10 mins
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

- Details on study design:
- NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: physiological saline
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: 20% (w/v) Imidazole
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME:
The medium from the anterior compartment was removed and 750 μL of the negative control
and 20% (w/v) Imidazole solution (positive control) were introduced onto the epithelium of
the cornea. The test item was weighed in a bottle and applied directly on the corneas in such a
way that the cornea was completely covered (300.1 to 338.0 mg). The holder was slightly
rotated, with the corneas maintained in a horizontal position, to ensure uniform distribution of
the solutions over the entire cornea. Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for
240 ± 10 minutes at 32±1℃.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
After the incubation the solutions and the test item were removed and the epithelium was washed at least three times with MEM with phenol red.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: The opacity of a cornea was measured by the diminution of light passing through the cornea. The light was measured as illuminance (I = luminous flux per area, unit: lux) by a light meter.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microplate reader (OD490)
- Others: Possible pH effects of the test item on the corneas were recorded. Each cornea was inspected visually for dissimilar opacity patterns.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA: the decision criteria as indicated in the TG was used. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- The second experiment
- Value:
- >= -2.5 - <= -0.9
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- In the first experiment, the individual in vitro irritancy scores for the negative controls ranged from -1.4 to 0.3. The corneas treated with the negative control item were clear after the 240 minutes of treatment. The individual positive control in vitro irritancy scores ranged from 112 to 150. The corneas treated with the positive control were turbid after the 240 minutes of treatment.
The corneas treated with the test item showed opacity values ranging from 0.4 to 6.5 and permeability values ranging from -0.006 to 0.001. The corneas were translucent after the 240 minutes of treatment with the test item. No pH effect of the test item was observed on the rinsing medium. Hence, the in vitro irritancy scores ranged from 0.3 to 6.4 after 240 minutes of treatment with the test item. The mean in vitro irritancy score was 2.5 after 4 hours of treatment with the test item. Since the results were spread over 2 categories (IVIS of 0.3, 6.4 and 0.9, respectively), the test was inconclusive and a repeat experiment was performed.
In the second experiment, the individual in vitro irritancy scores for the negative controls ranged from 0.6 to 2.8. The corneas treated with the negative control item were clear after the 240 minutes of treatment. The individual positive control in vitro irritancy scores ranged from 106 to 119. The corneas treated with the positive control were turbid after the 240 minutes of treatment. The corneas treated with the test item showed opacity values ranging from -2.8 to -1.1 and permeability values ranging from 0.012 to 0.015. The corneas were clear after the 240 minutes of treatment with the test item. No pH effect of the test item was observed on the rinsing medium. Hence, the in vitro irritancy scores ranged from -2.5 to -0.9 after 240 minutes of treatment with the test item. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Since the test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3 in 5 out of 6 corneas, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the eye hazard potential of test item as measured by its ability to induce opacity and increase permeability in an isolated bovine cornea using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP test) according to OECD 437. The eye damage of the test item was tested through topical application for approximately 240 minutes.
In the first experiment, the in vitro irritancy scores ranged from 0.3 to 6.4 after 240 minutes of treatment with the test item. The mean in vitro irritancy score was 2.5 after 4 hours of treatment with the test item. Since the results were spread over 2 categories (IVIS of 0.3, 6.4 and 0.9, respectively), the test was inconclusive and a repeat experiment was performed.
In the second experiment, the in vitro irritancy scores ranged from -2.5 to -0.9 after 240 minutes of treatment with the test item.
Since the test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3 in 5 out of 6 corneas, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
