TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING

- Treatment of test material prior to testing: test item was melted in a hot cabinet at 90 °C.

FORM AS APPLIED IN THE TEST (if different from that of starting material): liquid

In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Justification for test system used:
commercially available test system
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: epiCS® (CellSystems, Troisdorf, Germany).
- Tissue batch number(s): Cat.-No.CS-1001

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: room temperature for 3 min- exposure and incubator (37 ± 2° C) for 60 min- exposure

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1mg/ml
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: EL808, Bio-Tek
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TESTING RUNS / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION:
the optical density of the isopropanol-extracts of 3 inserts was determined by duplicate per insert = 6 OD values.

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA:
- The mean optical density (OD) value obtained with the test item was used to calculate the percentage of viability relative to the negative control, which is set at 100 %.
- classification according to UN GHS: if the mean percent tissue viability after 3 min-exposure is less than (<) 50 % the test item is classified as corrosive (Category 1A); if the mean percent tissue viability after 3-min-exposure is greater than or equal (≥) to 50 % AND < 15% after 60-min exposure the test item is classified as corrosive (Category 1B/1C); if the mean percent tissue viability after 60-min-exposure is ≥ 50 % after 3-min exposure AND ≥ 15% after 60-min exposure the test item is considered as non-corrosive

The corrosive potential of the test item is assessed by determination of its cytotoxic effect on an in vitro reconstructed human epidermis. The test principle is based on the MTT assay reflecting the cell viability after exposure to the topically applied test item.
All tests were performed in triplets for each time point. The test item was applied undiluted , i.e. 50 µl of the melted and cooled down test item per insert for 3 min. (room temperature) and 60 min. Cell viability was measured by the amount of MTT reduction (calculated on the basis of optical density of the negative control).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: negative
Executive summary:

A study was performed for the assessment of the skin corrosion of the test item with reconstructed human epidermis (RhE). The experiment was carried out using the commercially available test method epiCS®. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 431 and EU Test Method B.40 bis. The mean value of cell viability was recorded to be 105 % (3 min. exposure) and 71% (60 min. exposure). The test item was thus shown to be not corrosive to reconstructed human skin in vitro.
