- Relative mean tissue viability compared to the negative control tissues (100%)
- Value:
- 94
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks:
- 5.9
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Direct-MTT reduction: color change was observed by adding MTT-medium and it was concluded that the test item did interact with the MTT endpoint. In addition to the normal procedure, three killed tissues treated with test item and three killed non treated tissues were used for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT. The net OD of the treated killed tissues was subtracted from the ODs of the test item treated viable tissues.
- Colour interference with MTT: No colour changes observed
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
-The positive control had a mean cell viability of 5.9% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure ( % viability should be ≤18)
- The absolute mean OD570 of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range
-The relative mean tissue viability of the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 94% and the standard deviation value of the viability was 7.9%.
-The standard deviation calculated from individual tissue viabilities of the three identically test item treated tissues was 7.9%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
-The non-specific reduction of MTT by the test item was 4.69% of the negative control tissues.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified
- Remarks:
- Based on CLP (1272/2008/EC).
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test, the relative mean tissue viability for the test item was determined as 94%. Since this value is above the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%, Soybean oil, epoxidized, Me ester, reaction products with propylene glycol) does not need to be classified for skin irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
- Executive summary:
The possible skin irritation potential of Soybean oil, epoxidized, Me ester, reaction products with propylene glycol was tested in vitro using a human skin model through topical application for 15 minutes. The study procedures described in this report were according to OECD TG 439 guideline and GLP principles. Skin tissue was treated by topical application of 25 μL undiluted test substance. After 42 hours post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) MTT at the end of treatment. The test item did interact with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). In addition to the normal procedure, three killed tissues treated with test item and three killed untreated tissues were used for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT. The non-specific reduction of MTT by Soybean oil, epoxidized, Me ester, reaction products was 4.69% of the negative control tissues. The net OD of the treated killed tissues was subtracted from the ODs of the test item treated viable tissues.
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance. Reliable negative and positive controls were included. The positive control had a mean cell viability of 5.9 % after 15 minutes exposure. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 18%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. Under the conditions of this test, the relative mean tissue viability for the test item determined to be 94 %. This value is above the threshold for irritancy of ≤50%. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Soybean oil, epoxidized, Me ester, reaction products with propylene glycol is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should not be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations and according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
