Principles of method if other than guideline:

The model determines whether the applied dose of a chemical substance causes cytotoxicity, and thereby be responsible for the induction of erythema and/or oedema. The dose applied and the physico-chemical properties of the test substance are the input data to a series of algorithms to determine the substance concentration in the viable epidermis and to establish if this concentration reaches a cytotoxic concentration for the keratinocytes. These concentrations are plotted against the logarithm of subcooled water solubility of the substance (Log SCLS). As shown in the figure 1, the plot is subdivided into corrosive, irritant and non-irritant zones. The substance will fall into one of these zones, thereby allowing a classification.
The parameters given in Table 1 were provided as the input data into a skin absorption model, which was based on the existing SkinPerm model (4). The Kreatis model was adapted for the experimental conditions indicated in the OECD guideline 404 (exposure period, applied dose, semi-occlusive dressing). This model provides the amount of substance which passes through the stratum corneum and that permeates into the viable epidermis. The output of this model was then used to determine the cell burden value (CB) which informs whether the substance was able to cause any cytotoxicity, therefore leading to dermal irritation or corrosion. This cell burden value is plotted against the (Log SCLS) of the substance and depending on its position on the plot (already subdivided into corrosive, irritant and non-irritant zones), it will be classified for skin irritation/corrosion.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF THE MODEL:
The model determines whether the applied dose of a chemical substance causes cytotoxicity, and thereby responsible for the induction of erythema and/or oedema. The dose applied and the physico-chemical properties of the test substance are the input data to a series of algorithms to determine the substance concentration in the viable epidermis and to establish if this concentration reaches a cytotoxic concentration for the keratinocytes. These concentrations are plotted against the logarithm of subcooled water solubility of the substances (Log SCLS). As shown in the figure 1 (see study report), the plot is subdivided into corrosive, irritant and non-irritant zones. The substance will fall into one of these zones, thereby allowing a classification.
The parameters given in Table 1(see study report) were provided as the input data into a skin absorption model, which was based on the existing SkinPerm model. The Kreatis model was adapted for the experimental conditions indicated in the OECD guideline 404 (exposure period, applied dose, semi-occlusive dressing). This model provides the amount of substance which passes through the stratum corneum and that permeates into the viable epidermis. The output of this model was then used to determine the cell burden value (CB) which informs whether the substance was able to cause any cytotoxicity, therefore leading to dermal irritation or corrosion.

SCORING SYSTEM:
iSafeRat® Skin irritation/corrosion prediction model v1.0 was trained using data from studies that used the Draize scoring method. From these studies the substances were validated as Category 1, Category 2 and No category chemicals according to GHS/CLP classification criteria.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results for iSafeRat® skin irritation/corrosion v1.0: The test substance Trimethylolpropane Trisorbate, an ester, is located within a non-irritant output region of the model (see Figure 1 in study report), in which 22 out of 22 fully validated substances are non-irritant. Furthermore, the ester of the training set which is closest to the test substance is non-irritant with a higher cell burden value and higher SCLS than the test substance. Therefore, Trimethylolpropane Trisorbate is concluded to be non-irritant to skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Trimethylolpropane Trisorbate is classified non-irritant to skin according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS. The test substance falls within the applicability domain of the model and was hence reliably predicted for its acute skin irritation/corrosion potential. Therefore, this endpoint prediction can be considered reliable without restrictions (Klimisch score K1).

Executive summary:

The acute skin irritation/corrosion potential of Trimethylolpropane Trisorbate was predicted using the iSafeRat® skin irritation/corrosion v1.0 local model for esters. This QSAR model has been validated to be compliant with the OECD recommendations for QSAR modeling (OECD, 2004) and predicts the skin irritation/corrosion potential that would be expected when testing the substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory study following the Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 404, "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" (1), referenced as Method B.4 of Commission Regulation No. 440/2008 (2).

Trimethylolpropane Trisorbate is predicted to be non-irritant to skin according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS. The test substance falls within the applicability domain of the model and was hence reliably predicted for its acute skin irritation/corrosion potential. Therefore, this endpoint prediction can be considered reliable without restrictions (Klimisch score K1).

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute skin irritation/corrosion endpoint.
