Due to the ability of the test substance to reduce MTT directly, a KC was applied in parallel.


However, the result of the KC did not indicate an increased MTT reduction (difference to KC


of NC is not greater than 0.1; see section 3.6.4). Thus the KC was not used for viability


calculation.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The cornea and the iris were not affected in any animal at any examination term. Slight conjunctival redness (grade 1) was noted in one animal only 1 hour after application, in one animal 1 and 24 hours after application. In the third animal no conjunctival redness was observed.
Slight conjunctival chemosis was noted in all three animals only 1 hour after application. Slight discharge (grade 1) was noted in two animals only 1 h our after application.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Considering the described ocular reactions as well as the average score for irritation, ASA is not irritating to eyes under the test conditions chosen.

Additional information

The potential of the substance to cause dermal corrosion/irritation was assessed by a single topical application of 50 μL (corrosion test) or 30 μL (irritation test) of the test substance to a reconstructed three dimensional human epidermis model (EpiDerm™) in accordance with OECD 431 and GLP. Based on the observed results it was concluded, that the substance does not show a skin irritation potential.


Eye irritation was evaluated in study in accordance with OECD 405 and GLP, where 0.1mL of the substance was instilled into the eyes of three New Zealand rabbits. The only observed effects were slight conjunctival effects noted after 48 h, so that it was concluded that substance is not irritating to eyes.


 


The potential of the substance to cause serious damage to the eyes/mucous membranes was assessed by a single topical application of 0.3 mL of the undiluted test substance and 0.3 mL of a 10% test-substance solution in olive oil to the chorioallantoic membrane of fertilized and incubated hen eggs. Based on the absence of haemorrhagia and coagulation, after the 90 or 160 sec observation period, the substance was not found to produce changes indicative for serious eye damage.



Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Guideline study according to GLP

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Guideline study according to GLP

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data are conclusive but not sufficient data for classification with regard to irritation / corrosion in accordance with the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
