Description of key information

The substance (about 50% in water) should be regarded as non irritating to the skin of rabbits. 
Two in vitro studies (Human Corneal Epithelial Cell model - HCE; Hen's Egg Test - Chorioallanoic Membrane Test, HET-CAM), alternatives to the Draize rabbit eye irritation test, are available which indicate a strong eye irritation potential of the substance (about 50% in water).

Additional information

Based on the available information AAS-solution is not irritating to the skin of rabbits and should be considered as highly irritating to the eyes. There are no data gaps for the endpoint irritation/corrosion. There is no reason to believe that these results would not be applicable to humans.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Data in line with in vitro results; only one in vivo study available

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
No study was selected since both in vitro studies indicate a strong eye irritation potential and thus, no in vivo study was performed.

Effects on eye irritation: highly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data and according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the substance is not classified for skin irritation.

According to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the substance is classified with Eye Damage 1, based on the results of two independent in vitro tests, i.e. alternatives to the Draize rabbit eye irritation test.
