Description of key information
Skin irritation/corrosion:
Two in vitro studies are available.
One in vitro skin irritation study was performed using a human three dimensional epidermal model based on the most recent OECD 439 guidelines (2015). The test item is non-irritant under the experimental conditions.
Another in vitro skin corrosion test was performed to evaluate test item ability to induce skin corrosion using a human skin model according to OECD 431 (2016). The test item is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions.
Eye irritation:
Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP test) was performed based on the most recent OECD guideline 437.The test item did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of -0.1 after 4 hours of treatment.

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with test item compared to the negative control tissues was 86% and 92%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for test item was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment, the test item is considered to be not corrosive.
In conclusion, the test item is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.

- Executive summary:
In vitro skin irritation test was performed using a human three dimensional epidermal model based on the most recent OECD 439 guidelines (2015). The possible skin irritation potential of the test item was tested through topical application for 15 minutes.
Skin tissue was moistened with 5 μL of Milli-Q water and at least 10 mg of test item was applied directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
- Preparation of Corneas: The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish with cME (Earle’s Minim um Essential Medium) containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) Fetal Bovine Serum. The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder (one cornea per holder) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder. The anterior half of the holder was positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The compartments of the corneal holder were filled with cMEM of 32 ± 1°C. The corneas were incubated for the minimum of 1 hour at 32 ± 1°C.
- Cornea Selection: After the incubation period, the medium was removed from both compartments and replaced with fresh cMEM. Opacity determinations were performed on each of the corneas using an opacitometer. The opacity of each cornea was read against a cMEM filled chamber, and the initial opacity reading thus determined was recorded. Corneas that had an initial opacity reading higher than 7 were not used. Three corneas were selected at random for each treatment group.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects, such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. Those exhibiting defects were discarded.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES
Three corneas were selected at random for each treatment group
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
physiological saline
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
20% (w/v) Imidazole solution
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
- Application dose: 750 μL of the negative control and positive control, 349 to 368 mg for test item
- Exposure time: 240 ± 10 minutes
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: After the incubation the solutions and the test compound were removed and the epithelium was washed at least three times with MEM with phenol red.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: measured by the diminution of light passing through the cornea.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate reader (OD490)
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA: the decision criteria as indicated in the TG was used. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Value:
- >= -1.5 - <= 0.9
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:
The corneas were clear after the 240 minutes of treatment with test item. No pH effect of the test item was observed on the rinsing medium.
The corneas treated with test item showed opacity values ranging from -1.6 to 0.8 and permeability values ranging from 0.003 to 0.011.
The test item did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of -0.1 after 240 minutes of treatment.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: Yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Yes - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, since the test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
- Executive summary:
The eye hazard potential of test item was measured by its ability to induce opacity and increase permeability in an isolated bovine cornea using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP test) based on the most recent OECD guideline 437.
This report describes the potency of chemicals to induce serious eye damage using isolated bovine corneas. The eye damage of test item was tested through topical application for approximately 240 minutes.
Since no workable suspension in physiological saline could be obtained, the test item was used as delivered and added pure on top of the corneas.
The negative control responses for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas. The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (20% (w/v) Imidazole) was 123 and within two standard deviations of the current historical positive control mean. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.
The test item did not induce ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of -0.1 after 4 hours of treatment.
In conclusion, since test item induced an IVIS ≤ 3, no classification is required for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
