According to classification criteria 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure is not an irritant to the skin. There were no systemic intolerance reactions. - Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD guideline 404 (2002), young adult New Zealand White rabbits (3/treatment) were dermally exposed to 0.5 g/patch of Clorthiphen-2-carbonsäure (100 % a.i.) for 4 hours to 5 cm² of shaved dorsal skin. Animals then were observed for 72 h according to the adopted guideline due to the absence of any irritant effect. Irritation was scored as required by the test guideline.
Under the present test conditions all three animals showed no erythema or oedema after patch removal.
All three animals also showed no oedema and erythema at the examination time-points 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.
Based on these results the test item does not need to be classified according to Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) with respect to corrosivity.

- Study period:
- 2005-10-10 to 2005-12-12
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test)
- Version / remarks:
- the study was conducted in accordance to the OECD 431 guideline draft
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Test system:
- human skin model
- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Cell source:
- other: not reported
- Justification for test system used:
- Corrosion of the skin is defined as an irreversible necrotic alteration of the tissue induced by a chemical. While the testing for corrosives usually involves the rabbit skin as a predictive in vivo test method, substances may be classified according to their corrosive potential by the determination of their cytotoxic effects on an in vitro reconstructed human epidermis. The test principle is based on the MTT assay reflecting the cell viability after short term exposure of the epidermal equivalent to topically applied 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure.

- Conclusions:
- 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure was characterised by no significant impact on cell viability after 3 min or after the 60 min period. Thus, 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure should not be labelled as corrosive to skin.
- Executive summary:
In a dermal irritation study performed in accordance with draft OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion, 2005), 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure (100% a.i.) was applied to the three-dimensional human epidermis model tissue for an exposure period of 3 and 60 minutes in triplicates. 50 μL of 0.9% NaCl were topically applied to the epidermal surface in order to improve further contact between the solid and the epidermis. Each approximately 25 mg of the test item were applied to the wetted tissues. The test item was spread to match the surface of the tissue.
After 3 minutes exposure at room temperature or 60 minutes exposure in the incubator, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove any residual test material. Cytotoxicity (irritancy) was expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment.
The negative (0.9% NaCl) control gave responses that were within the acceptance criteria and as such demonstrated the validity of the study.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3 and 60 minutes treatment with 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure compared to the negative control tissues was 84.93 and 28.72%, respectively. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test substance was above 50%, 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure is identified to be not corrosive.

Additional information
Skin irritation/corrosion:
In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD guideline 404 (2002), young adult New Zealand White rabbits (3/treatment) were dermally exposed to 0.5 g/patch of Clorthiphen-2-carbonsäure (100 % a.i.) for 4 hours to 5 cm² of shaved dorsal skin. Animals then were observed for 72 h according to the adopted guideline due to the absence of any irritant effect. Irritation was scored as required by the test guideline.
Under the present test conditions all three animals showed no erythema or oedema after patch removal.
All three animals also showed no oedema and erythema at the examination time-points 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.
In a dermal irritation study performed in accordance with draft OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion, 2005), 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure (100% a.i.) was applied to the three-dimensional human epidermis model tissue for an exposure period of 3 and 60 minutes in triplicates. 50 μL of 0.9% NaCl were topically applied to the epidermal surface in order to improve further contact between the solid and the epidermis. Each approximately 25 mg of the test item were applied to the wetted tissues. The test item was spread to match the surface of the tissue.
After 3 minutes exposure at room temperature or 60 minutes exposure in the incubator, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove any residual test material. Cytotoxicity (irritancy) was expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment.
The negative (0.9% NaCl) control gave responses that were within the acceptance criteria and as such demonstrated the validity of the study.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3 and 60 minutes treatment with 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure compared to the negative control tissues was 84.93 and 28.72%, respectively. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test substance was above 50%, 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure is identified to be not corrosive.
Eye irritation/corrosion:
In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD test guideline 405 (2002), 0.1 g 5-Chlorthiophen-2-carbonsäure (100 % a.i.) were instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 young adult New Zealand White rabbits for 24 hours. After 24 hours the eye was gently washed with physiological saline. Animals then were observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
After application of 0.1 g of the test sample into the conjunctival sac, there were moderate reactions in the cornea that were not reversible in one animals within 21 days and initially stronger changes in the conjunctivae, which are completely reversible within 14 days.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on these results the test item does not need to be classified according to Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) with respect to corrosivity to the skin.
According to Regulation (EU) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) the test item is classified as Category 1 (irriversible effects to the to eye) based on the results obtained under the conditions described.
