- Executive summary:
A GLP study conducted in vitro with human epidermis model EPISKIN was performed to assess the irritancy potential of dimethyloctadiene similarly to ECVAM protocol version 1.8 of February 2009.
10 µL of test item was applied directly on epidermis for 15 min on 3 epidermis. Positive control was 10 µL of 5% (w/v) SDS solution and negative control was 10 µL of PBS (each tested on 3 epidermis). MTT conversion assay was peformed to evaluate the percentage of cellular viability of the epidermis.
Positive control had a percentage of viability of 18.7 ± 3.0 and test item 40.9 ± 5.2.
For Dimethyloctadiene, as the percentage of viability was ≤ 50 %, it is considered to be irritating.
Under the test conditions, dimethyloctadiene is classified as irritating to the skin in category 2 (H315) according to the CLP Regulation (EC) n° 1272/2008 and as irritating to skin (Xi; R 38) according to the criteria of Annex VI of Directive 67/548/EEC.

The results of the positive control are in conformity with historical data (within two standard deviations of the historical mean obtained from 31 March to 28 May 2010: 35.7 -67.5).
The results of the opacity and the OD of the negative control are in conformity with criteria of validity of the test.
The results of the OD of fluorescein are in conformity with the criteria of validity of the test.
Results for test item and positive control were corrected by subtracting the values obtained with the negative control, and the in vitro irritancy score IVIS was calculated from the corrected values: IVIS = (OPT2-OPT0)c + 15DOc

Additional information
Skin irritation:
An in vitro study was conducted with the human epidermis model EPISKIN and identified as the Key study (Maillet, Episkin, 2010). This GLP study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of dimethyloctadiene similarly to ECVAM protocol version 1.8 of February 2009.
10 µL of test item was applied directly on epidermis for 15 min on 3 epidermis. Positive control was 10 µL of 5% (w/v) SDS solution and negative control was 10 µL of PBS (each tested on 3 epidermis). MTT conversion assay was peformed to evaluate the percentage of cellular viability of the epidermis. Positive control had a percentage of viability of 18.7 ± 3.0 and test item 40.9 ± 5.2. As the percentage of cell viability was ≤ 50 %, the test item is considered to be irritating.
Eye irritation:
In an in vitro eye corrosivity and severe irritancy test (BCOP test for Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability), performed according to the OECD guideline N°437 and in compliance with GLP, dimethyloctadiene was applied for 10 minutes to the epithelial surface of 3 bovine cornea, mounted in specially designed corneal holders. After rinsing and 2-h incubation, the corneal opacity and permeability were determined. They were combined to calculate thein vitroirritancy score (IVIS). IVIS for dimethyloctadiene was 1.1±0.6. Opacity and permeability values of the negative control (sodium chloride at 0.9%) as IVIS of the positive control (ethanol at 100% – 57±0.6) were in conformity with the criteria of validity of the test. As IVIS was < 55.1, dimethyloctadiene is not classified as corrosive or severe irritant.
An in vitro study was conducted and identified as the Key study (Maillet, Human reconstructed Corneal epithelium, 2010). The undiluted test substance was in contact with corneal epithelium for 10, 60 or 180 minutes and MTT conversion assay was peformed to evaluate the percentage of cellular viability of the epitheliumin order to caculate the T50, which is the time when 50% of the cells are dead. As the T50 calculated for dimethyloctadiene was higher than 180 minutes, it is not considered as irritating to eyes.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the percentage of cell viability foun in an in vitro skin irritation test using EPISKIN model is ≤ 50 %, dimethyloctadiene is classified as irritating to skin in category 2 (H315) according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008) and as irritating to skin (Xi; R 38) according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC.
As dimethyloctadiene was not found corrosive in a BCOP test and had a T50 value higher than 180 min in an in vitro human recontrusted corneal epithelium test, it is not classified as irritating to eyes according to the Annex VI of Directive 67/548/EEC and according to the CLP Regulation (EC) n° 1272/2008.
