Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm Skin Model (EPI-200)
- Tissue lot number: 26708 kit L and M

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment/exposure: All incubations, with the exception of the test item incubation of 3 minutes at room temperature, were carried out in a controlled environment at 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36,8 – 37,5°C).

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- After the exposure period, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test item.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3h
- Spectrophotometer: TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 2 replicates per exposure duration, one negative control, one positive contol.

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- Freeze-killed tissues
- Number of replicates: 2
- Calculation: Nonspecific MTT reduction was calculated as the difference between the mean OD of the untreated freeze-killed tissues and test item treated freeze-killed tissues expressed as percentage of the mean of the negative control tissues. True tissue viability is calculated as the difference between the living test item treated tissues incubated with MTT medium and the difference between mean OD of the test item treated freeze-killed tissues and the mean OD of the untreated freeze-killed tissues.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
The in vitro skin corrosion test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The absolute mean OD570 of the two tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range.
b) The mean relative tissue viability following 1-hour exposure to the positive control should be <15 %.
c) In the range 20 - 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) between tissue replicates should be ≤ 30%.
d) The non-specific MTT reduction should be ≤ 30% relative to the negative control OD.

DECISION CRITERIA
A test item is considered corrosive in the skin corrosion test if:
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, a test item considered non-corrosive (viability ≥ 50%) after the 3-minute treatment is considered corrosive if the relative tissue viability after 1-hour treatment with the test item is decreased below 15%.

A test item is considered non corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test if:
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is not decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, the relative tissue viability after the 1-hour treatment is not decreased below 15%.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: Yes, the absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit ≤2.8) and the laboratory historical control data range;
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Yes, mean relative tissue viability following 1-hour exposure was 6.2%.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: Yes, in the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was ≤ 11%, indicating that the test system functioned properly

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

Conclusions:

Based on an in vitro skin corrosion test conducted with ROC-118 according to OECD 431 guideline and GLP principles it is concluded that this test is valid and that the test substance is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test.

Executive summary:

In an in vitro skin corrosion test using a human skin model ( EpiDerm Skin Model), the influence of ROC-118 on the viability of human skin was tested. The test substance was applied directly to 0.6 cm^2 cultured skin (25.2 to 33.1mg, in presence of 25 μL Milli-Q water). After 3-minute and 1-hour treatments the substance was removed and the viability of the cells was tested by reduction of MTT. Viability of unexposed skin was set at 100%. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with TS compared to the negative control tissues was 95% and 95%, respectively. The positive control had a mean cell viability of 6.3% after 3 minutes exposure and 6.2% after 1 -hour exposure, respectively.

Since the mean relative tissue viability was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment, it can be concluded that the test substance is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test.
