Results and discussion

In vitro

Results
Irritation parameter:
other: %viability
Run / experiment:
Mean after 24 h
Value:
4.7
Vehicle controls validity:
not examined
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
After treatment with the test item, the relative absorbance values were reduced to 4.7 %.
This value is well below the threshold for eye irritation potential (≤ 60%).
Other effects:
All validity criteria were met. The criterion for optical density of the negative control was fulfilled: The OD value was 1.5 (> 0.8 and < 2.5).
The positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 32.1%.
Variation within the replicates was acceptable (<20 %).
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered as valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: GHS category 1 or 2
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test system, trizinc dicitrate is considered as eye irritant in the EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test (OECD 492).
Executive summary:

The test item trizinc dicitrate was applied to a three-dimensional human cornea tissue model in duplicate for an exposure time of 6 h.

The solid test item was applied to each tissue. After treatment with the test item, the relative absorbance values were reduced to 4.7 %.

This value is well below the threshold for eye irritation potential (≤ 60%).
