Constituent 1
Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- human
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The EpiOcularTM tissue consists of normal, human-derived keratinocytes, which have been cultured to form a stratified squamous epithelium similar to that found in the human cor-nea. It consists of highly organized basal cells. These cells are not transformed or trans-fected with genes to induce an extended life span.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate is considered either eye irritant or inducing serious eye damage in the EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test.
According to the OECD Guideline 492, the EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test does not allow discrimination between eye irritation/reversible effects on the eye (Category 2) and serious eye damage/irreversible effects on the eye (Category 1). For these purposes, further testing with other suitable test methods is required. - Executive summary:
Under the conditions of the test, Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate is considered either eye irritant or inducing serious eye damage in the EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test.
After treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 1.7 %. This value is well below the threshold for eye irritation potential (≤ 60 %).
All validity criteria were met. The criterion for optical density of the negative control was fulfilled: The OD value was 2.0 (> 0.8 and < 2.5).
The positive control induced a decrease in tissue viability as compared to the negative control to 28.0 %. Variation within the replicates of the controls and the test item was ac-ceptable (< 20 %).
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.
