TLDR
A lack of applicability of the three in vitro methods to reliably predict UN GHS Cat 1 of agrochemical formulations means testing protocols and/or prediction models need to be modified or classification rules should be tailored to in vitro testing rather than using in vivo Draize data as a standard.

A framework for establishing scientific confidence in new approach methodologies

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a framework comprising five essential elements to establish scientific confidence in NAMs for regulatory use: fitness for purpose, human biological relevance, technical characterization, data integrity and transparency, and independent review.

A retrospective analysis of in vivo eye irritation, skin irritation and skin sensitisation studies with agrochemical formulations: Setting the scene for development of alternative strategies.

TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of existing results from in vivo skin irritation, eye irritation, and skin sensitisation studies on a database of 223 agrochemical formulations suggests low prevalence of skin and eye irritants, suggesting bottom‐up approaches.

CON4EI: CONsortium for in vitro Eye Irritation testing strategy - EpiOcular™ time-to-toxicity (EpiOcular ET-50) protocols for hazard identification and labelling of eye irritating chemicals

TL;DR: In order to achieve optimal prediction for all three classes, a testing strategy was developed which combines the most predictive time-points of both protocols and for tests liquids and solids separately and the very high specificity of 97% was maintained.

Human-relevant approaches to assess eye corrosion/irritation potential of agrochemical formulations

TL;DR: There are multiple in-vitro and ex vivo eye irritation and corrosion test methods that are available as internationally harmonized test guidelines for regulatory use as mentioned in this paper, however, despite their demonstrated use, they are not widely used.
