Description of key information

Following exposure with, the mean cell viability was 105% compared to the negative control and therefore non-irritant. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid.

In this in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model with the results indicated that the test item is Non Irritant (NI).

The test item, applied to rabbit eye mucosa, caused conjunctival redness and transient discharge. The effects were fully reversible within 48 hours.

The animal individual mean scores (considering readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment) were as follows:

chemosis : 0.00, 0.00

discharge : 0.00, 0.00

redness : 0.33, 0.33

cornea opacity : 0.00, 0.00

iris : 0.00, 0.00

Colouring potential of test substances
As the test item is coloured, one additional test item-treated tissue was used for the non specific OD evaluation. Optical density (measured at 540 nm) of this tissue was determined as 0.034, Non Specific Colour % was calculated as 4.7%. Therefore additional data calculation was not necessary.

No colour change was observed after three hours of incubation of the test item in MTT solution. The test material did not interact with the MTT, therefore additional controls and data calculations were not necessary. A false estimation of viability can be precluded.
Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Following exposure with PREPOLYMER D, the mean cell viability was 105% compared to the negative control and therefore non-irritant. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid.
In this in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model with PREPOLYMER D the results indicated that the test item is Non Irritant (NI).
Executive summary:

The reconstructed human epidermis model EPISKIN-SM is designed to predict and classify the skin irritant potential of chemicals, by measuring its cytotoxic effect, as reflected in the MTT assay, on the EPISKIN reconstituted human epidermis. This method is approved by international regulatory agencies as a replacement for the identification of irritants / corrosives in the in vivo Rabbit skin assay (OECD 404).

Disks of EPISKIN (three units / chemical) were treated with PREPOLYMER D and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of test material was terminated by rinsing with PBS. Epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of the epidermis on each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37°C in 5% CO2 protected from light. The formazan extract in acidified isopropanol was then spectrophotometrically evaluated for optical density (OD) and quantified.

SDS 5% and PBS treated epidermis were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. An additional disk was used to provide an estimate of colour contribution from the test item. For each treated tissue viability was expressed as a % relative to negative control. If the mean relative viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours post incubation is less or equal (≤) to 50% of the negative control, the test substance is considered to be irritant to skin.

Following exposure with PREPOLYMER D, the mean cell viability was 105% compared to the negative control and therefore non- irritant. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid.

In this in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model with PREPOLYMER D the results indicated that the test item is Non Irritant (NI).

Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation study of the test item was performed in New Zealand White rabbits.

The irritation effects of the test item were evaluated according to the Draize method (OECD No.: 405, 2012). Rabbits were treated with analgesic and anaesthetic as per the regulatory guideline. Two animals were used to make the classification according to the Sponsor request. The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal. The untreated right eye served as control. A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item was administered as a single dose. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the application. Initial Pain Reaction (IPR/PR) was not observed. First animal (No: 00166) clinical observation At one hour after the application: Conjunctival redness (score 2), chemosis (score 1) and discharge (score 3) were found. At 24 hours after the application: Conjunctival redness (score 1) was found. At 48 and 72 hours after the application There were no clinical signs, and no conjunctival or corneal effects observed. The effects were fully reversible therefore the animal was euthanized. Second animal (No: 00159) clinical observation At one hour after the application: Conjunctival redness (score 2), chemosis (score 1) and discharge (score 3) were found. At 24 hours after the application: Conjunctival redness (score 1) was found. At 48 and 72 hours after the application There were no clinical signs, and no conjunctival or corneal effects observed. The effects were fully reversible therefore the animal was euthanized. There were no clinical sign of systemic toxicity observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred. During the study, the control eye of each animal was symptom-free. The body weights of the animal were considered to be within the normal range of variability. The animal individual mean scores (considering readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment) were as follows:

chemosis : 0.00, 0.00

discharge : 0.00, 0.00

redness : 0.33, 0.33

cornea opacity : 0.00, 0.00

iris : 0.00, 0.00

The test item, applied to rabbit eye mucosa, caused conjunctival redness and transient discharge. The effects were fully reversible within 48 hours. The substance is not classified as irritating based on these results.
