Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The viability of the test result is 81% and it is higher then the classification criteria, viability < 60%. Therefore, the test substance is not classified for eye irritation.
Executive summary:

In this study, the eye irritation potential of 2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethanesulphonic acid (CAS 10191-18-1, EC 233-465-5) was assessedin vitroaccording to OECD Test Guideline 492 (Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium (RhCE) test method for identifying chemicals not requiring classification and labelling for eye irritation or serious eye damage).


After 6h ± 15 mins’ exposure on the surface of EpiOcularTMreconstructed ocular epithelium and 18h ± 15 mins post-incubation time, the viability of the tissues was assessed and compared to a negative control. The percentage viability obtained was 81.068 % and therefore:

2 -[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethanesulphonic acid (CAS 10191-18-1, EC 233-465-5) was classified as non-Irritant to the human eye.
