Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The mean relative absorbance value of the test item, corresponding to the cell viability, decreased to 84.4%. The test item therefore was "non-irritant" under the conditions of this in vitro test.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to classify the skin irritation potential of the test item "reaction mass of cucurbit(6]uril, cucurbit[7]uril and cucurbit[8]uril". The study was performed in accordance with OECD test guideline 439 of July 2015 ("In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method”). Following exposure to the test item, the mean cell viability was 84.4% compared to the negative control. This is above the threshold of 50%, therefore the test item was considered as being non-irritant to skin. The experiment met the validity criteria, therefore the study was considered to be valid.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was non-irritant in the in vitro eye irritation test in accordance with OECD test guideline no. 492
Executive summary:

This in vitro GLP study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of the test item "Reaction mass of Cucurbit[6]uril, Cucurbit[7]uril and Cucurbit[8]uril" by means of the Human Cornea Model Test in accordance with OECD test guideline 492. Additional tests with viable or freeze-killed tissues were not performed, since the test item was not coloured intensively, did not dye water or isopropanol, and did not reduce MTT.

About 50 mg of the test item or 50 µL of the controls, respectively, were applied to each of duplicate EpiOcular (TM) tissue for 6 hours. Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease in the mean relative absorbance compared with the negative control to 31.8%, thus the validity of the test system is ensured. The acceptance criteria were met. The viability of tissue treated with the test item was 89.6 %. Since the viability of tissues treated with the test item did not decrease below 60%, the test item is not considered to possess an eye irritating potential.

no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
