Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Skin irritation

Two studies were evaluated on this endpoint (an in vitro study and an in vivo study). 

The results of the in vitro study, which used EPISKINTM reconstituted human epidermis (EPISKIN Standard Model™), showed TIS-M to be not irritating.

In the in vivo study, 3 female rabbits each received a single four hour application of the test sample to the shorn flank.  The animals were assessed for any signs of irritation for up to 3 days after application. Dermal exposure to TIS-M caused slight erythema in 2 animals (reversible within 24 and 48 hours, respectively). Based on these results, TIS-M is not classified as a skin irritant. 

Eye irritation

Two studies were evaluated on this endpoint (an in vitro study and an in vivo study). 

The results of the in vitro study using bovine corneas showed TIS-M to be not irritating.

In the in vivo study, application of the test sample into the conjunctival sac of three rabbits caused conjunctival redness (score 1) and conjunctival discharge (score 1) after 1 hour. After 24 hours, conjunctival redness (score 1) was observed in just one animal. At 48 hours and 72 hours after treatment, no clinical signs were observed. Based on these results, TIS-M is not classified as an eye irritant. 

Respiratory irritation

Respiratory irritation was not assessed; however no effects of this kind on any animals were noted in any associated studies.

The following information is taken into account for any hazard / risk assessment:

Value used for CSA:

- Skin irritation / corrosion: not irritating

- Eye irritation: not irritating

- Respiratory irritation: not irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 1 according to the Klimisch et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were conducted to GLP an in compliance with agreed protocols. Sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) and the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). No classification for irritant effects is therefore required.
