Evaluation of colour interference: 30 µL of the test item mixed with 300 µL deionised water was incubated for 60 minutes at 37 ± 1.5 °C. Since the colour of the test item mixture did not change during the incubation period, additional testing with viable tissues was not required.
Evaluation of direct reduction of MTT: 30 µL of the test item added to MTT (1 mg/mL). Incubated in the dark at room temperature for 60 minutes. Since the colour did not turn blue/purple, the test item was not considered to be a MTT reducer.

- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is non-irritant to skin according to UN GHS and EU CLP regulation.
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test.
The test item did not prove to be a MTT reducer in the MTT interference pre-experiment. Also, its intrinsic color was not intensive and it did not change color when mixed with deionised water or isopropanol. Therefore, additional tests with freeze-killed tissues or viable tissues (without MTT addition) did not have to be performed.
Each three tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm™ were treated with the test item, the negative control (DPBS) or the positive control (5% SDS) for 60 minutes.
After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required range of the acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for the 60 minutes treatment interval, thus assuring the quality of the tissues.
Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the viability as compared to the negative control for the 60 minutes treatment interval, thus assuring the validity of the test system.
After treatment with the test item the mean relative viability value was 90.86% compared to the relative absorbance value of the negative control. This value is above the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
Freshly isolated bovine eyes of cattle were collected from the slaughterhouse. Excess tissue was removed from the eyes. The eyes were kept and transported in transport medium cooled on ice.
The corneas were prepared immediately after delivery of the eyes to the laboratory. The corneas were carefully removed from the eyes using scalpel and rounded scissors. A rim of about 2 to 3 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 (pre-warmed at 32 ± 1°C) and the corneal diameter of each cornea was measured and recorded. Each cornea was mounted in a cornea holder (CiToxLAB, Veszprem, Hungary) with the endothelial side against the sealing ring (O-ring) of the posterior part of the holder. The cornea was gently flattened over the O-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. The posterior compartment was filled first to return the cornea to its natural convex form.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
All eyes were carefully examined macroscopically for defects. Those presenting defects such as vascularization, pigmentation, opacity or scratches were discarded.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
3 replicates per test item/ positive control/ negative control
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
0.9% sodium chloride solution
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
20% (w/v) imidazole in 0.9% sodium chloride solution
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
- Test item: 20% (w/v) in 0.9% sodium chloride solution
- Positive control: 20% (w/v) in 0.9% sodium chloride solution
- Negative/vehicle control: 0.9% sodium chloride solution
- Exposure time: 240 minutes
TREATMENT METHOD:
- negative and positive control: closed chamber
- test item: open chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: No
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: Three times with wash medium
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: The opacity value of each individual cornea was corrected for background opacity by subtracting the initial baseline opacity reading from the post treatment opacity reading. In addition, the opacity values of both the treatment and positive control groups were corrected for the mean negative control opacity values. From the individual corrected opacity values, a mean corrected opacity value was calculated for each group.
- Corneal permeability: For each cornea either treated with the positive control or the test item, an individual corrected OD490 value was calculated by subtracting the average negative control permeability value from each individual permeability reading. From the individual corrected permeability values, a mean corrected permeability value was calculated for each group.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA: decision criteria as indicated in the test guideline was used - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- mean of three corneas
- Value:
- 0.8
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, the test item did not show an eye hazard potential. The test item is not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS: No Category).
- Executive summary:
After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 0.2 (study acceptance criteria range: -1,4 - 3.0). Treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) revealed an IVIS of 103.8 (study acceptance criteria range: 83.0 - 131.8). Therefore, the study fulfilled the acceptance criteria. The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test item was 0.8 and, thus, lower than 3, i.e. according to OECD 437 the test item is not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS: No Category).

Eye irritation
After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 0.2 (study acceptance criteria range: -1,4 - 3.0). Treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) revealed an IVIS of 103.8 (study acceptance criteria range: 83.0 - 131.8). Therefore, the study fulfilled the acceptance criteria. The IVIS obtained after treatment with the test item was 0.8 and, thus, lower than 3, i.e. according to OECD 437 the test item is not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS: No Category).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Thus, the test item is considered not to be classified for irritation/corrosion under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2020/217.
