- The relative mean issue viability of three individual tissues after 156 minutes of exposure to the test article and 42 hours post incubation is less than or equal to 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

A test article is considered a non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test if:
-The mean relative tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test article and 42 hours post incubation is greater than 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, the test article is not a dermal irritant.

Executive summary:

The dermal irritation potential of the test article was evaluated using a three dimensional human skin model (EPISKIN Small Model). The study was conducted according to OECD 439 (2015) in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The test article was applied undiluted (25 uL) directly on top of the skin tissue for a 15 minute exposure period at 37 C. Negative (PBS) and posivite (5% SDS) controls were tested concurrently. All exposures were run in triplicate. After washing, the tissue it was incubated at 37 C for 42 hours. Following incubation, tissue viability was measured by formazan production from MTT and compared to the negative control tissue viability. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 minutes of treatment with the test article compared to the negative control tissues was 108%. Based on the results of the study, the test article is not a dermal irritant.
