- Source: SkinEthic Laboratories, Lyon, France
TEST METHOD
The model represents a reconstructed three-dimensional skin model based on normal human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered epidermis including basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum. Corrosive materials are identified by their ability to penetrate the stratum corneum and to damage the underlaying cell layers which is determined through a decrease in cell viability as determined by MTT reduction assay.
ADAPTATION TO CELL CULTURE CONDITIONS
Upon receipt, tissues were transferred into 12-well plates containing 2.2 mL prewarmed maintenance medium per well and preincubated in a humidified incubator for 24 h (37 ± 1 °C, 5% CO2) before use. After 24 h the medium was refreshed and the tissues were incubated for further 24 h.
INCUBATION CONDITIONS (INCUBATOR)

- Not applicable. The test was performed in duplicates for each test or control group and treatment period (3, 60, and 240 min)
- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The test item was washed from the skin surface with phosphate buffered saline with Ca2+ and Mg 2+.
- Time after start of exposure: 3, 60, and 240 min
CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS
For determining alterations in cell viability, MTT reduction assays were performed. Therefore, tissues were incubated in 2.2 mL prewarmed MTT solution (0.3 mg/mL MTT) for 3 h at room temperature (under light protection). At the end of the 3-h incubation period each tissue was placed onto absorbent paper to dry. A total biopsy of the epidermis was taken. The epidermis was separated from the collagen matrix and both parts (epidermis and collagen matrix) were placed into labelled 1.5 mL tubes containing 850 µL isopropanol. The optical density (OD) was measured at 540 nm wave length in a plate spectrophotometer.
Test for direct MTT reduction:
To identify if the test item may interfere with MTT a pre-test was performed, using a solution of MTT (2.2 mL; 0.3 mg/mL MTT) with 20 mg test item. The solution was incubated at room temperature for 3 h. Untreated MTT solution was used as a control.

In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No direct interference of MTT and the test item was observed. The MTT solution containing the test item did not turn blue.
The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 67.9, 79.5, and 92.3% for the 240, 60, and 3 min exposure period, respectively. Therefore the test item was considered to be non-corrosive to the skin. The acceptance criteria of the negative and positive control were satisfied. A tissue viability of 12.8% was observed after 240 min exposure to the positive control substance. The mean OD540 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.156. Thus, the acceptance criterion was satisfied.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not corrosive
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- There is regulatory acceptance in the EU that a substance can be considered corrosive (Skin Corrosive Cat.1A) based on a positive result in the human epidermis model test. Negative in vitro corrosivity responses are not conclusive with respect to non-classification or classification as irritant and shall therefore be subject to further evaluation.
