% of viability: 2.838 - Classification = No prediction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The test determined that a 40% solution of the registered substance reduced the viability to below 60% and therefore “no prediction” regarding the irritation or corrosive potential of the substance can be determined according to OECD 492. OECD 492 cannot resolve between UN GHS Categories 1 and 2, further information on eye corrosion is required. Experience during manufacturing and use indicate that the registered product is not corrosive to the eye. Therefore, based on a weight of evidence with the consideration of the lack of corrosive effects during manufacture and use combined with the irritant result with OECD 492, the registered substance is a Eye Irritant Category 2.
Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of Agent 447C (a 40% solution of the registered substance) was assessed in vitro according to OECD 492. After 30 ± 2 minutes exposure on the surface of the EpiOcular reconstructed ocular epithelium, and a 2 hour ± 15 minutes post-incubation time, viability of the tissues was assessed and compared to the negative control. The percentage of viability obtained was 2.838% and no prediction can be made for Agent 447C (a 40% solution of the registered substance) as further information is required to distinguish between corrosive and irritating.

 

In vitro testing with OECD 492 has not allowed for a prediction of eye irritation of Agent 447C (a 40% solution of the registered substance). As OECD 492 cannot resolve between UN GHS Categories 1 and 2, further information on eye corrosion is required. Experience during manufacturing and use indicate that the registered product is not corrosive to the eye. Therefore, based on a weight of evidence with the consideration of the lack of corrosive effects during manufacture and use combined with the “no prediction” result with OECD 492, the registered substance is a Eye Irritant Category 2.
