- Executive summary:
- An in vitro skin irritation study was performed according to the OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP, using the EPISKINTM reconstructed human epidermis model. Triplicate tissues were treated with the test item for an exposure period of 15 minutes. At the end of the exposure period each tissue was rinsed before incubating for 42 hours. At the end of the post exposure incubation period each tissue was taken for MTT-loading. The maintenance medium from beneath each tissue was transferred to pre labelled micro tubes and stored in a freezer for possible inflammatory mediator determination. After MTT-loading a total biopsy of each epidermis was made and placed into micro tubes containing acidified isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT loaded tissues. At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and duplicate 200 µL samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre labelled 96 well plate. The optical density was measured at 562 nm. Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues). The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 14.8% after the 15-Minute exposure period and 42 hours post-exposure incubation period. The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 3.1% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 7.7%. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied. The mean OD562 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.923 and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 7.7%. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied. The standard deviation calculated from individual percentage tissue viabilities of the three identically treated test item tissues was 0.6%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied. Under the test conditions, test item was classified as irritant according to the annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP). This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint. The supporting substance is considered adequate for read-across purpose (see Iuclid section 13 for additional justification).
Reference
Direct MTT Reduction:The MTT solution containing the test item remained yellow which indicated that the test item did not directly reduce MTT.

Quality Criteria
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 3.1% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 7.7%. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The mean OD562 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.923 and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 7.7%. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The standard deviation calculated from individual percentage tissue viabilities of the three identically treated test item tissues was 0.6%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
Historical Control Data
For the previous 22 experiments conducted from April 2014 to August 2014 using this test method, the mean OD of the positive control was 0.084 ± 0.046 and the mean percentage viability was 9.2 ± 5.3. In this same period the mean OD of the negative control was 0.938 ± 0.102.
Although the positive control parameters for this study were greater than ranges based on the previous 22 experiments the positive control was considered to have reflected the ability to respond to an irritant chemical under the conditions of the test ie the recommended acceptance criterion for the positive control was achieved for this test (≤40% relative to the concurrent negative control). The negative control in this study was comparable to the negative control achieved in the previous 22 experiments conducted with this test method.

- Executive summary:
In an eye irritation study, 0.1 g of undiluted test material was instilled into the right eye of 6 albino rabbits while the left eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were not rinsed after the instillation of test material. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 5 and 7. The reactions in the conjunctivae (redness, chemosis and discharge), the iris and the cornea (opacity and area involved) were scored according to the “Illustrated guide for grading eye irritation by hazardous substances”.
The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.39 for redness, 0.33 for chemosis, 0.0 for iris lesions and 0.0 for corneal opacity. The observed conjunctival reactions were fully reversible within 5 days.
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified as irritating to the eyes according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
Although some details on test animals and experimental conditions were missing, this study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for eye irritation endpoint.
The supporting substance is considered adequate for read-across purpose (see Iuclid section 13 for justification).

Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion:
A study was available on the substance itself but was not reliable (Klimisch score = 3), therefore a read-across approach was used. The supporting substance, (2E)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one, is considered adequate for read-across purposes (see Iuclid section 13 for additional justification). The key study (Harlan, 2015) is fully reliable (Klimisch score = 1), however the reliability score was lowered to 2 which is the maximum score for read-across. The supporting substances are considered adequate for read-across purposes (see Iuclid section 13 for additional justification).
The key study, an in vitro skin irritation study was performed according to the OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP, using the EPISKIN TM reconstructed human epidermis model.
The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 14.8% after the 15-Minute exposure period and 42 hours post-exposure incubation period.
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 3.1% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 7.7%. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The mean OD562 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.923 and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 7.7%. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The standard deviation calculated from individual percentage tissue viabilities of the three identically treated test item tissues was 0.6%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
Under the test conditions, test item is a skin irritant.
In accordance with the integrated testing strategy, the bottom-up approach normally includes an additional in vitro test for skin corrosion when the result of the in vitro skin irritation test is positive. However, taking into account the result of the skin irritation study on the registered substance, even if tested only at 50%, together with the negative results observed in the in vivo eye irritation studies, it can be safely concluded that the registered substance is also not corrosive to the skin without performing a new test.
Eye irritation:
A study was available on the substance itself, however it was performed on a dilution. Therefore a read-across approach was used. The supporting substance, (2E)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one is considered adequate for read-across purposes (see Iuclid section 13 for additional justification). The key study (Biosearch, 1979) is fully reliable (Klimisch score = 1), however the reliability score was lowered to 2 which is the maximum score for read-across.
The key study was performed similarly to the OECD Guideline No. 405. Undiluted test material was instilled into the eye of 6 rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed after instillation of the test item. Animals were observed at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of test material into eyes and then on Days 5 and 7.
The calculated mean score for each animal within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 h) were 0.39 for redness, 0.33 for chemosis, 0.0 for iris lesions and 0.0 for corneal opacity. The observed conjunctival reactions were fully reversible within 5 days.
The supporting substance does not require classification for eye irritation.
Even if only tested at 50%, the study on the registered substance supports this conclusion. The registered substance is therefore not classified for eye irritation.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
A study was available on the substance itself but was not reliable (Klimisch score = 3), therefore a read-across approach was used. The supporting substance is considered adequate for read-across purposes (see Iuclid section 13 for additional justification). The key study is fully reliable (Klimisch score = 1), however the reliability score was lowered to 2 which is the maximum score for read-across.

The key study is fully reliable (Klimisch score = 1), however the reliability score was lowered to 2 which is the maximum score for read-across.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
Harmonized classification:
The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 including ATP6.
Self-classification:
Based on the available information on the supporting substance, the registered substance should be classified as Skin irr. Category 2 (H315: Causes skin irritation) according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP)
No additional self-classification is proposed regarding eye irritation according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
No information was available regarding respiratory irritation.
