ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
Acceptability of the Quality Control Data of the Skin Model with Reference to Historical Batch Data:
The negative control OD values were 1.906, 1.663 and 1.766 and, thus, in the range of ≥0.8 and ≤3.0.
Acceptability of the Positive and Negative Control Data:
After treatment with the positive control (5% aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate) the mean viability value was 1.4% (standard deviation: 21.4%) and, thus, lower than the historically established threshold of 3.03%.
After treatment with the negative control (DPBS-buffer) the mean OD was 1.778 (standard deviation: 6.9%) and, thus, higher than the historically established threshold of 1.459.
Variability of the Data:
The standard deviation between the three tissues replicates treated with the test item was 9.9% and, thus, ≤18%. The standard deviation between the three tissue replicates of the negative control was 6.9%.
The standard deviation between the three tissues replicates treated with the positive control was 21.4% and, thus, >18%. Due to the very irritant potential of the positive control very low viabilities were obtained. Little differences between very low viabilities resulted in a high standard deviation >18%. However, this does not influence the outcome or validity of the study.
The study met all acceptance criteria. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- UN GHS: No Caterory (according to OECD TG 439)
- Conclusions:
- This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 439. Under the conditions of the present study, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential to skin (UN GHS: No Category).
- Executive summary:
This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 439. Under the conditions of the present study, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential to skin (UN GHS: No Category).

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
After treatment with the negative control (0.9% sodium chloride solution) the calculated IVIS was 0.9 and, thus, within three standard deviations of the current historical mean of the negative control (IVIS: -1.4 – 3.2). After treatment with the positive control (20% Imidazole) the calculated IVIS was 103.8 and, thus, also within two standard deviations of the current historical mean of the positive control (IVIS 80.3 – 133.2). Therefore, the study fulfilled the acceptance criteria.
The resulting classification of the test item in this study is unequivocal and no borderline results were obtained. Therefore, a single testing run composed of three corneas per group was considered sufficient. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, did not show an eye hazard potential. The test item is not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS: No Category).
- Executive summary:
The informtion for this endpoint study record was obtained from an experimental study. The OECD GLP criteria were met and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 437. Under the conditions of the present study, did not show an eye hazard potential. The test item is not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS: No Category).
