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

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
- The mean optical density (OD) values obtained with the test item were used to calculate the
percentage of viability relative to the negative control, which is set at 100 %.
- According to UN GHS (Category 2 or Category 1) if the mean percent tissue viability after exposure and post treatment incubation is less than or equal (≤ ) to 50 %.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

no irritant, no classification warranted

Executive summary:

A study was performed for the assessment of the skin irritancy of the test item Pyrrolo Nitro PP with reconstructed human epidermis (RhE). The experiment was carried out in vitro using the commercially available test method epiCS®.
The study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 439 and EU Test Method B.46.
The test item was applied undiluted topically to the RhE tissue construct in triplicates and incubated for 20 minutes, followed by a 42 hours post-treatment incubation period.
Cell viability was measured in a photometer by the amount of MTT (methylthiazole tetrazolium) reduction. The optical density value obtained for the test item was used to calculate the percentage of viability relative to the negative control, which is set at 100%.
The results of the concurrent negative control (NC, 0.9 % NaCl) and positive control (PC, 5 % SDS) demonstrated the viability (NC) and sensitivity (PC) of the test model.
The following value of cell viability was recorded for the test item: 94 % (rounded).
In conclusion the results of the assay used show no skin initant properties of the test item Pyrrolo Nitro PP and thus, the test item requires no classification according to CLP.
