Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:

In this study under the given conditions the test item showed no irritant effects. The relative mean tissue viability after 60 min of exposure and 42 h post-incubation was > 50%. The test item is therefore classified as “non-irritant” in accordance with UN GHS “No Category”.
Executive summary:

In the present study the skin irritant potential of PU-2017-775 was analysed. The EpiDerm™-Standard Model (EPI-200™), a reconstituted three-dimensional human epidermis model, was used as a replacement for the Draize Skin Irritation Test (OECD TG 404) to distinguish between UN GHS “Category 2” skin irritating test substances and not categorized test substances (“No Category”) which may be considered as non-irritant. Hereby, the test item was applied topically. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT after a60 min exposure and 42 h post-incubation periodand compared to those of the concurrent negative controls.

The mixture of 25 mg test item per 1 mL MTT medium showed no reduction of MTT compared to the solvent. The mixture did not turn blue/purple. Therefore, NSMTT equalled 0%.

The mixture of 25 mg of the test item per 300 µl aqua dest. and/or per 300 µL isopropanol showed no colouring detectable by unaided eye-assessment. Therefore, NSC equalled 0%.

The test item showed no irritant effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was > 50% (98.9%) after 60 min treatment and 42 h post-incubation.
