Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm™ (EPI-200) (MatTek Corporation, Bratislava, Slovakia)
- Tissue batch number: 23351
- Delivery date: 23 Aug 2016
- Date of initiation of testing: 23 Aug 2016

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 ± 1.5 °C for 35 min in the incubator; thereafter at room temperature for 25 min in a sterile bench

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Volume and number of washing steps: Tissues were gently rinsed with DPBS at least 15 times in order to remove any residual test material. After the rinsing the inserts were submerged in DPBS at least 3 times. Afterwards the inserts were once again rinsed with DPBS from the inside and the outside.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 h
- Spectrophotometer: microplate reader (Versamax, Molecular Devices, Softmax Pro v.4.7.1)
- Wavelength: 570 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: The quality of the EpiDerm tissue was assessed by undertaking an MTT cell viability test. The determined OD (540 - 570 nm) was 2.031 ± 0.069 (acceptance criteria: 1.0 - 3.0).
- Barrier function: The barrier function was assessed by determination of the exposure time required to reduce tissue viability by 50% (ET-50) upon application of 100 µL of 1% Triton X-100. The ET-50 value was determined to be 6.77 h (acceptance criteria: 4.77-8.72 h).
- Contamination: The cells used to produce the EpiDerm tissue were screened for the presence of viruses, bacteria, yeast and other fungi.

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
Since the test substance showed Color Interference 1h after incubation in deionised water, an additional test with one viable tissue without MTT addition was necessary.
- N. of replicates: One for each untreated and test susbtance treated group
- Method of calculation used: Data were corrected as follows:
OD = ODcoloured tissue (MTT assay) – ODcoloured tissue (no MTT assay)

Since the test substance showed reducing capacity 1 h after MTT incubation, an additional test with freeze-killed tissues had to be performed to determine a correction factor for calculating the true viability in the main test.
- N. of replicates: 2 for each untreated and test susbtance treated group
- Method of calculation used: Data were corrected as follows:
True viability = Viability of treated tissue – Interference from test chemical = ODtvt – ODkt where ODkt = (mean ODtkt – mean ODukt)
tvt = treated viable tissue kt = killed tissues tkt = treated killed tissue ukt = untreated killed tissue (NC treated tissue)


NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: single experiment

OTHER EFFECTS:
- Direct-MTT reduction: Optical evaluation of the MTT-reducing capacity of the test item after 1 hour incubation with MTT-reagent showed blue colour. An additional test with freeze-killed tissues was performed. The result was used for data correction of the results in the main experiment.
- Colour interference with MTT: The optical pre-experiment (colour interference pre-experiment) to investigate the test item’s colour change potential in water led to a colour change of water. An additional test with one viable tissue was performed to gain the correction factor for calculation of the true viability.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values (1.745, 1.842, 1.717) were in the range of the required acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for the 60 min treatment.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Exposure to the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 3.2% thus confirming the validity of the test system.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: The relative standard deviations of the 3 identical replicates of the test substance, the positive and negative control, were < 18% (1.3, 1.8, 3.7%), thus ensuring the validity of the study.

Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS:
The cornea was carefully removed from the eye using scalpel and rounded scissors. A rim of about 2 mm of tissue (sclera) was left for stability and handling of the isolated cornea. Each isolated cornea was mounted in a specially designed cornea holder.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS:
At the end of the equilibration period, the basal opacity was determined (t0). Each cornea with a value of a basal opacity > 7 was discarded.

TREATMENT METHOD:
The cornea holder consists of anterior and posterior compartments, which interface with the epithelial and endothelial sides of the cornea, respectively. The endothelial side of the cornea was positioned against the sealing ring (O-ring) of the posterior part of the holder. The cornea was gently flattened over the O-ring but stretching was avoided. The anterior part of the holder was positioned on the top of the cornea and fixed in place with screws. Both compartments of the holder were filled with incubation medium. The posterior compartment was filled first to return the cornea to its natural convex position. After equilibration for about 1 hour, the anterior compartment received the test substance or the controls on the surface of the corneae. The corneae were incubated in a horizontal position at 32 ± 1 °C in the water-bath for 10 minutes.

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE:
The test substance was rinsed off from the application side with saline.

- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: 2 h in a vertical position

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Corneal opacity was determined by the amount of light transmission through the cornea via an opacitometer (OP_KiT opacitometer, Electro Design, France).
- Corneal permeability: The passage of sodium fluorescein dye was measured with the aid of a microplate reader (Versamax Molecular Devices) at 490 nm (OD490).

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS), IVIS = opacity value + (15 x OD490 value)

DECISION CRITERIA:
Test substance with an IVIS > 55 was regarded as serious eye damage and labelled Category 1 according to CLP/EHS/GHS.
Test substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 was regarded as non-irritant and labelled in no category.
Test substance with an IVIS > 3; ≤ 55: no prediction can be made.
Irritation parameter:

Vehicle controls validity:
not applicable
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Other effects / acceptance of results:
With the negative control (saline) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed (mean IVIS = 0.80). The positive control (2-ethoxyethanol) was tested undiluted and showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae (mean IVIS = 100.50) corresponding to a classification as serious eye damaging (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The negative control resulted in opacity and permeability values that were less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneae treated with the respective negative control.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The positive control resulted in an IVIS which was within two standard deviations of the current historical mean.

Additional information

Skin

The skin irritation potential of the test substance was determined by an in vitro skin irritation test using a reconstructed human skin model according to OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP (2017). After treatment with the test substance for 60 min the tissue viability decreased to 6.4% compared to the negative control (threshold for irritancy ≤ 50%). Therefore, the test substance is considered to possess an irritant potential.

In a next step, the skin corrosion potential of the test substance was assessed by an in vitro skin corrosion test using a human skin model according to OECD Guideline 431 and in compliance with GLP (2017). After treatment with the test substance the mean relative absorbance value did not decrease (3 min exposure: 120.1%; 1 h exposure: 111.9%) compared to the negative control. Therefore, the test substance is not considered be corrosive to the skin.

In conclusion, based on available studies, the test substance is considered to be irritating to the skin and therefore is classified as Skin Irrit. 2, H315 according to CLP.

Eye

The eye irritation potential of the test substance was determined by a bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test according to OECD Guideline 437 and in compliance with GLP (2016). Application of the test substance to bovine corneae resulted in a calculated mean IVIS of 1.02. Thus, the test substance is not considered to be irritant to the eye.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on skin irritation meet the criteria for classification as Skin Irrit. Cat. 2 (H315) according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

The available data on eye irritation do not met criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
