- OTHER EFFECTS
- Direct-MTT reduction: Since the test substance did not directly reduce MTT, an additional test with freeze-killed or viable tissues was not performed.
- Colour interference with MTT: The test substance did not change colour, when mixed with deionised water and thus passed the colour interference pre-test.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The mean negative control OD, both for the 3 and 60 min exposure period, was in the range of ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for every exposure time thereby confirming the acceptable quality of the tissues.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Exposure to the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control, both for the 3 min exposure period (28.8%) and for the 60 min exposure period (7.4%) thus confirming the validity of the test system and the specific batch of tissue models.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: The coefficient of variation in the range 20 – 100% viability between tissue replicates was < 30%, thus the validity of the test system and the specific batch of the tissue models is confirmed. - Interpretation of results:
- other: non-corrosive according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the conducted test, the test substance did not possess corrosive properties towards reconstructed human epidermis tissue in the EpiDerm™ model.
- Executive summary:
The skin corrosion potential of the test substance was assessed by an in vitro skin corrosion test using a human skin model according to OECD Guideline 431 and in compliance with GLP (2016). After treatment of the tissues with the test substance the mean relative absorbance value did not decrease (114.8%) after 3 min exposure compared to the negative control. After 1 h exposure the relative absorbance value was reduced to 22.0%. Both values did not exceed the threshold for corrosivity and therefore the test substance is not considered to be corrosive to the skin.

- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 2.2% thus confirming the validity of the test system.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: The relative standard deviations between the % variability values of the test substance, the positive and negative controls in the main test were 3% at the highest (threshold of OECD 439: <18%), thus ensuring the validity of the study. - Interpretation of results:

Animal No. 2 showed a diffuse, crimson red conjunctiva with individual vessels not easily discernible as well as a swelling above normal. In animal No. 3 a scattered or diffuse area of opacity on more than one quarter, but less than half of the cornea, an iris with markedly deepened folds, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal injection and existence of reaction to light, a diffuse, crimson red conjunctiva with individual vessels not easily discernible, a swelling above normal and a discharge different from normal were observed. Animal No. 4 showed a scattered or diffuse area of opacity on more than one quarter, but less than half of the cornea, an iris with markedly deepened folds, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal injection and existence of reaction to light, some conjunctival vessels definitely injected and a swelling above normal. After instillation of fluorescein in animal No. 1 a scattered or diffuse area of opacity on one quarter or less of the cornea was observed.
7 days after application of the test substance all four animals were free of any signs of eye Irritation. - Interpretation of results:
- other: Eye Irrit. Cat. 2 according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this eye irritation study in rabbits the test substance was irritating to the eye.
- Executive summary:
The individual mean scores after 24, 48 and 72 h are for corneal opacity 0.7, 0.3, 1.3, 1.0, for iris lesion 1.0, 0.7, 1.0, 1.0, for conjunctival redness 2.3, 2.0, 2.7, 2.00 and for chemosis 2.3, 1.0, 2.0, 1.7. All ocular lesions were fully reversible within 7 days. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the eye.

Additional information
Skin
The skin corrosion potential of the test substance was assessed by an in vitro skin corrosion test using a human skin model according to OECD Guideline 431 and in compliance with GLP (2016). After treatment of the tissues with the test substance the mean relative absorbance value did not decrease (114.8%) after 3 min exposure compared to the negative control. After 1 h exposure the relative absorbance value was reduced to 22.0%. Both values did not exceed the threshold for corrosivity and therefore the test substance is not considered to be corrosive to the skin.
In a next step, the skin irritation potential of the test substance was determined by an in vitro skin irritation test using a reconstructed human skin model according to OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP (2017). After treatment with the test substance for 60 min the tissue viability decreased to 2.7% compared to the negative control (threshold for irritancy ≤ 50%).Therefore, the test substance is considered to possess an irritant potential towards human-derived epidermal keratinocytes.
In conclusion, based on the available data on skin irritation/corrosion, the test substance is considered to be irritating to skin and therefore classified as Skin Irrit. 2 (H315) according to CLP.
Eye
The eye irritation potential was tested in an acute eye irritation/corrosion test in four rabbits according to OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (2000). After treatment with 0.1 mL of the test substance
The individual mean scores after 24, 48 and 72 h are for corneal opacity 0.7, 0.3, 1.3, 1.0, for iris lesion 1.0, 0.7, 1.0, 1.0, for conjunctival redness 2.3, 2.0, 2.7, 2.0 and for chemosis 2.3, 1.0, 2.0, 1.7. All ocular lesions were fully reversible within 7 days. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the eye.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin irritation of the test substance meet the criteria for classification as Skin Irrit. 2 (H315) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
The available data on eye irritation of the test substance meet the criteria for classification as Eye Irrit. 2 (H319) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
