Executive summary:

Please find the explanation of and the justification for the read across between R113 (1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane ) and R113a (1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane ) for all relevant endpoints in the document "Analogue approach report for 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane – read-across from 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane" in section 13.2, under entry "Assessment Reports_Read-Across" (please see also under cross reference).

The test substance 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane was applied to the shaved back of 3 Albino rabbits daily for a period of 20 weeks (according to method of Draize, Woodard, and Calvery). After 20 weeks application to rabbit skin, no changes could be observed compared to the test area. Thus the test substance is not considered as irritating to rabbit skin.

Based on the cell viability measurements obtained, the following mean viability measurements for the test article, negative control and positive control were calculated to be: 87.2%, 100% and 7.2% respectively.

 

These results indicate the viability of the epidermal tissue was not reduced to below 50% of the negative control and therefore may be considered to be non-irritant. The positive control showed an appropriate response in the assay system.

 

No other test substance related effects were observed.

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was not irritant to the in vitro skin model EpiSkin.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the in vitro skin irritation potential of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane, EpiSkin inserts were treated with the test substance, negative control (phosphate buffered saline (PBS)) and positive control (5% v/v sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)) for 15 minutes. At the end of the treatment period, the tissues were washed with PBS and cell viability was assessed using the MTT (3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, also known as Thiazolyl blue) interacting substances assay. The skin irritation potential was classified according to the remaining cell viability obtained after test article treatment.

 

The group mean viability for the test article was 87.2%, for the negative control was 100% and for the positive control was 7.2%.

 

The test substance was not irritant to the in vitro skin model EpiSkin.

The test substance 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane was tested on skin corrosive properties in a test similar to OECD 404 with some deviations (e.g. only skin corrosion but not irritation was tested). None of the 6 animals used for the test showed skin corrosion after 4 h exposure to the test item under occlusive conditions. Thus the test substance is not considered as corrosive to rabbit skin.

The eye irritation potential of the test substance 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane was assessed in an in vivo test on Albino rabbits. The test substance was applied to the eyes of 3 Albino rabbits per group which were either washed after 20 seconds of exposure or remained unwashed. In the animals without washing, minimal corneal dullness was observed in one of three animals at 24 h; when washed after 20 seconds, the test item caused mild conjunctivitis in one of three animals at 24 h. All effects were completely reversible within 48 h. Thus the test substance is considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

The eye irritation potential of the target chemical 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is determined by read-across from an in vivo test on Albino rabbits with the source chemical 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.

The corrosion/irritation potential of the test substance 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane was assessed with in vivo tests on rabbits. The test item was not corrosive/irritating to rabbit skin.

The skin corrosion/irritation potential of the target chemical 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is determined by read-across from in vivo tests on rabbits with the source chemical 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. The analogue approach is justified in Section 13 (Assessment Reports_Read-Across, in attachment CAS_354-58-5_Read-Across.pdf). As a consequence 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is not considered as corrosive/irritating to the rabbit skin.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.2, the available data for skin corrosion/irritation potential is considered to be adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, and classification and labelling, based on the weight-of-evidence.

Eye irritation

The eye irritation potential of the test substance 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane was assessed with in vivo tests on rabbits. The test item was not irritating to rabbit eyes.

The eye irritation potential of the target chemical 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is determined by read-across from in vivo tests on rabbits with the source chemical 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. The analogue approach is justified in Section 13 (Assessment Reports_Read-Across, in attachment CAS_354-58-5_Read-Across.pdf). As a consequence 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is not considered as irritating to the rabbit eyes.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.2, the available data for eye irritation potential is considered to be adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, and classification and labelling, based on the weight-of-evidence.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance was not irritant to skin and eyes. As a result the substance does not meet the criteria for classification (corrosive, irritant, inflammation of the skin, ocular lesions) under Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 28th time in Directive 2001/59/EC, Annex VI, 3.2.5 and 3.2.6.

The substance was not irritant to skin. As a result the substance does not meet the criteria for classification (skin corrosion/irritation) under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.2.

The substance was not irritant to eyes. As a result the substance does not meet the criteria for classification (serious eye damage/eye irritation) under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.3.
