Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item was applied to the skin surface. Water for injection was used as the negative control. 8 N KOH was used as the positive reference item. Two exposure times of 3 minutes or 1 hour were employed.

In comparison to the negative controls, the mean viability of cells exposed to the test item was 96.7% after a 3-minute exposure period and 102.9% after a 1-hour exposure. The OD540 values were well above the cut-off percentage cell viability values distinguishing corrosive from non-corrosive test items of <50% or <15% for a 3-minute or 1-hour treatment, respectively. Therefore, the test item was non-corrosive in this skin model and is predicted to be non-corrosive to human skin.

The mean viability of cells treated with the positive reference item 8 N KOH were 2.0% (3-minute incubation) and 5.0% (1-hour incubation) of the negative controls and were below the cut-off values. Hence, 8 N KOH caused pronounced corrosion in this skin model and is predicted to be corrosive to human skin.

Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the present test conditions the test item tested at two exposure times of 3 minutes or 1 hour was non-corrosive to skin in an experiment employing an artificial three-dimensional model of human skin.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine cytotoxic properties to skin cells which might lead to corrosion by the test item to human skin, in an experiment with an artificial three-dimensional model of human skin. The EST-1000 model was employed. The test item was applied to the skin surface. Water for injection was used as the negative control. 8 N KOH was used as the positive reference item. Two exposure times of 3 minutes or 1 hour were employed. In comparison to the negative controls, the mean viability of cells exposed to the test item was 96.7% after a 3-minute exposure period and 102.9% after a 1-hour exposure. The OD540 values were well above the cut-off percentage cell viability values distinguishing corrosive from non-corrosive test items of <50% or <15% for a 3-minute or 1-hour treatment, respectively. Therefore, the test item was non-corrosive in this skin model and is predicted to be non-corrosive to human skin.

The mean viability of cells treated with the positive reference item 8 N KOH were 2.0% (3-minute incubation) and 5.0% (1-hour incubation) of the negative control and were below the cut-off values. Hence, 8 N KOH caused pronounced corrosion in this skin model and is predicted to be corrosive to human skin.

Under the present test conditions the test item tested at two exposure times of 3 minutes or 1 hour was non-corrosive to skin in an experiment employing an artificial three-dimensional model of human skin.
