Description of key information
In a GLP study conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 431 (in vitro skin corrosion), exposure of reconstructed human skin to the test substance redcued tissue viability to 16.2% and 3.8% of controls at 3 minutes and 1 hr respectively, when measured by MTT reduction. Three supporting studies are available, none of whcich are suitable for assessment given the lack of experimental details reported and the low concentrations of test substance (0.1 -2.5 % w/v) used.
Eye damage potential was assessed in a GLP, guideline study using Bovine Cornea Opacity and Permeability (OECD 437). Exposure of bovine cornea to the test substance for 4 hours resulted in In Vitro Irritation Scores of 63.4 and 76 in duplicate studies.

Acceptance criteria for tissue variability:
For every treatment 2 tissues are treated in parallel. In the range of 20% and 100% viability, variability between the
tissues is considered to be acceptable if the coefficient of variation (CV) of %-viability is ≤ 30%. - Amount/concentration applied:

ground test material was applied with a sharp spoon and homogeneously distributed with the water

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
The CV of %-viability of the 3-minute exposure of the test-substance treated tissues, which was 37.4%, is out of the acceptance range, which was ≤ 30%. Since all other quality criteria of the study were met and both viability values are well below the cut off for skin corrosion, this deviation is not considered to adversely affect the result of this study. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
Corneas free of defects (opacity, scratches, pigmentation etc.) were dissected with a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. Isolated corneas were mounted in cornea holders that consists of anterior and posterior chambers. Both chambers were filled to excess with pre-warmed Eagles’s MEM (without phenol red) and then equilibrated in a vertical position at about 32 °C for at least 1 hour
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS: Yes
NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: Yes, de-ionized water
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: Yes, Imidazole as 20% solution in de-ionized water
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: 200 mg for 4 hours
TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: No
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: corneas exposed to the NC and PC were removed from the anterior chamber using a syringe and the epithelium was washed at least 3 times with Eagle’s MEM (containing phenol red) and once with Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red); both chambers were then refilled with fresh Eagle’s MEM (without phenol red).
Because the test substance could not be removed using a syringe, the epithelium was rinsed with the open chamber method
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Before measurement, each cornea was observed visually and observations were recorded. Final corneal opacity readings were taken for each cornea with an opacitometer.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of UV/VIS spectrophotometry; (OD490)
- Others (histopathology): After determination of opacity and permeability, corneas were fixed in 4% formaldeyhde for further histotechnical
processing and examination by light microscopy

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based upon the results obtained in the in vitro reconstructed human skin assay for skin corrosion, the test substance fulfils the classificaiotn criteria for Skin Corrosion and Severe eye Damage Category 1. The results obtained in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability study confirm the hazard classification for Severe Eye Damage category 1.
