- Executive summary:
Purpose
The in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test material by means of the Human Skin Model Test according to OECD Guideline 439 and GLP criteria.
Study Design
The test consisted of a topical exposure of the test item to a human reconstructed model followed by a cell viability test. Cell viability was measured by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT into a blue formazan salt that was quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The percent reduction of cell viability in comparison to untreated negative controls was used to predict skin irritation potential.
Triplicates of the human skin model RHE (Reconstructed Human Epidermis model) were treated either with the test item, the negative or the positive control for 42 minutes. 16 µL of either the negative control (PBS-buffer) or the positive control (5% sodium dodecylsulphat solution) were applied to each tissue. Before adding the test item, 10 µL of deionised water was spread to the epidermis surface to improve further contact between the test item and the epidermis. Afterwards, 16 mg of the test item were applied to each tissue.
Results
Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control for the treatment interval thus ensuring the validity of the test system.
After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values reached the required acceptability criterion of a mean optical density (OD) ≥ 1.2 for the treatment interval thus showing the quality of the tissues.
The tissue viability after treatment with the test item was higher than 50 % (mean viability: 99.07 %). Therefore, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential.
Conclusions
Under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is not irritant to skin.
Reference
MTT-colour assay:
The visual evaluation in the pretest for MTT-reducing capacity of the test material after 3 hours incubation with MTT-reagent did not show blue color.
Validity of the test:
After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values reached an OD of 1.82 (standard deviation 0.06). Therefore, the negative control fulfilled the validity criteria.
Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance up to 1.51 % (standard deviation 0.21), thus the positive control reached the validity criteria.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
The corneas were prepared immediately after delivery of the eyes to the laboratory. All eyes were carefully examined macroscopically for defects. Those presenting defects such as vascularization, pigmentation, opacity or scratches were discarded. The corneas were carefully removed from the eyes using scalpel and rounded scissors. A rim of about 2 mm of tissue (sclera) was left for stability and handling of the isolated cornea. All corneas used in the study were collected in incubation medium (EMEM, pre-warmed at 32 °C).
Each cornea was mounted in a cornea holder (LAB Research, Hungary) with the endothelial side against the sealing ring (0-ring) of the posterior part of the holder. The cornea was gently flattened over the 0-ring without stretching the cornea. Afterwards, the anterior part of the holder was positioned on top of the cornea and fixed in place with screws. Both compartments of the holder were filled with incubation medium (EMEM). The posterior compartment was filled first to return the cornea to its natural convex form.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
Yes, Opacity Measurement before Treatment:
The opacitometer measured the light transmission passing through the corneas and displayed a lux value. This value was recorded in a table and converted into an opacity value (baseline opacity values). The opacitometer was calibrated as described in the manual and the measured values were within the range of the acceptance criteria. The opacity of each cornea was determined by reading each holder placed in the photoreceptor compartment of the opacitometer. Any corneas that showed macroscopic tissue damage (e.g., scratches, pigmentation, neovascularization) or an opacity > 7 opacity units were discarded. The mean opacity of all equilibrated corneas was calculated. Three corneas with opacity values close to the median value for all corneas as were selected as negative control corneas. The remaining corneas were distributed into treatment and positive control groups.

Validity of the Test
After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 1.1 and, thus, within two standard deviations of the current historical mean (IVIS: -0.9 - 4.2). After treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 94. 7 and, thus, also within two standard deviations of the current historical mean (IVIS 90.2 - 148.5). Therefore, the study fulfilled the validity criteria.
Purpose
Thisin vitroGLP study was performed to assess the ocular severe irritant or corrosive potential of the test item by means of the BCOP (Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay) according to OECD Guideline 437 and the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1152/2010.
For this purpose fresh bovine corneas were exposed to a 20% suspension of the test material and toxic effects to the cornea were measured by decreased light transmission (opacity) and increased passage of sodium fluorescein dye (permeability). The opacity and permeability assessments of the corneas were combined to determine anIn VitroIrritancy Score (IVIS), which was used to classify the irritancy potential of the test material.
Study Design
In this study the induced opacity and increased permeability was investigated in isolated bovine corneas after exposure to the test material as a 20% suspension in a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. As negative control 0.9% sodium chloride solution and as positive control 20% imidazole was used. 3 corneas were used per group (test material, negative and positive control group). After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneas, 750 µL of the suspended test material, positive or negative control were applied on the corneas and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After the incubation phase the test material, the positive, and the negative control were rinsed from the corneas and the opacity was measured again. After the opacity measurements, the permeability of the corneas was determined by application of 1 mL of a fluorescein solution for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. The amount of fluorescein solution that crossed the cornea was measured spectrophotometrically. The opacity and permeability assessments were combined to determine an In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS).
Results
The treatment of the corneas with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) showed neither an increase of opacity nor an increase of permeability. After treatment with the positive control (20% imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 94.7 and, thus, within two standard deviations of the current historical mean (IVIS: 90.2 - 148.5). Therefore, the study fulfilled the validity criteria. The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test material was 4.7 and, thus, lower than 55.1. Therefore, the test material is not considered to possess an ocular severe irritant or corrosive potential.
Conclusions
Under the given experimental conditions, the test material did not show an ocular severe irritant or corrosive potential.

Skin irritation - in vitro
Purpose
The in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test material by means of the Human Skin Model Test according to OECD Guideline 439 and GLP criteria.
Study Design
The test consisted of a topical exposure of
the test item to a human reconstructed model followed by a cell
viability test. Cell viability was measured by dehydrogenase conversion
of MTT into a blue formazan salt that was quantitatively measured after
extraction from tissues. The percent reduction of cell viability in
comparison to untreated negative controls was used to predict skin
irritation potential.
Triplicates of the human skin model RHE (Reconstructed Human Epidermis
model) were treated either with the test item, the negative or the
positive control for 42 minutes. 16 µL of either the negative control
(PBS-buffer) or the positive control (5% sodium dodecylsulphat solution)
were applied to each tissue. Before adding the test item, 10 µL of
deionised water was spread to the epidermis surface to improve further
contact between the test item and the epidermis. Afterwards, 16 mg of
the test item were applied to each tissue.
Results
Treatment with the positive control induced
a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the
negative control for the treatment interval thus ensuring the validity
of the test system.
After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values reached
the required acceptability criterion of a mean optical density (OD) is
greater than or equal 1.2 for the treatment interval thus showing the
quality of the tissues.
The tissue viability after treatment with
the test item was higher than 50 % (mean viability: 99.07 %). Therefore,
the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential.
Conclusions
Under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is not irritant to skin.
Eye irritation - in vitro
Purpose
This in vitro GLP study was performed to assess the ocular severe irritant or corrosive potential of the test item by means of the BCOP (Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay) according to OECD Guideline 437 and the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1152/2010.
For this purpose fresh bovine comeas were exposed to a 20% suspension of the test material and toxic effects to the comea were measured by decreased light transmission (opacity) and increased passage of sodium fluorescein dye (permeability). The opacity and permeability assessments of the comeas were combined to determine an In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS), which was used to classify the irritancy potential of the test material.
Study Design
In this study the induced opacity and
increased permeability was investigated in isolated bovine corneas after
exposure to the test material as a 20% suspension in a 0.9% sodium
chloride solution. As negative control 0.9% sodium chloride solution and
as positive control 20% imidazole was used.
3 corneas were used per group (test material, negative and positive
control group).
After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneas, 750 µL of
the suspended test material, positive or negative control were applied
on the corneas and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After the
incubation phase the test material, the positive, and the negative
control were rinsed from the corneas and the opacity was measured again.
After the opacity measurements, the permeability of the corneas was
determined by application of 1 mL of a fluorescein solution for 90
minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. The amount of fluorescein solution that crossed
the cornea was measured spectrophotometrically.
The opacity and permeability assessments were combined to determine an In
Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS).
Results
The treatment of the corneas with the
negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) showed neither an
increase of opacity nor an increase of permeability. After treatment
with the positive control (20% imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 94.7
and, thus, within two standard deviations of the current historical mean
(IVIS: 90.2 - 148.5). Therefore, the study fulfilled the validity
criteria.
The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test material was 4.7 and,
thus, lower than 55.1. Therefore, the test material is not considered to
possess an ocular severe irritant or corrosive potential.
Conclusions
Under the given experimental conditions, the
test material did not show an ocular severe irritant or corrosive
potential.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the result of the available in vitro study on skin irritation (RhE-Test Method), the registered substance is not subject to classification as skin irritant in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. According to the result of the available in vitro study on eye irritation (BCOP), a classification as Cat. 1 " Causes serious eye damage" is not warranted. The study allows judgement on severity of effects but not persistence of effects and it does not allow identification of Cat. 2 specifically but since the dertermined value is comparrable to the negatove controls and comparable to the historically negative controls the substance is not expected to have a irritation potential and will not be classified.
