Details on animal used as source of test system:
6.4.1 Specification
The test system is a commercially available EpiDermTM-Kit, procured by MatTek.
The EpiDermTM tissue consists of human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers representing main
lipid classes analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDermTM tissues are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts.
6.4.2 Origin
EpiDermTM tissues were procured from MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Brati-slava.
Designation of the kit: EPI-200-SIT
Day of delivery: 20. Feb. 2018
Batch no.: 25882
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount/concentration applied:
1 mg/mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
35 minutes
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
23 hours and 25 minutes
Number of replicates:
24-well-plate

Results
Irritation / corrosion parameter:

Value:
103.9
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks on result:
other: 3.4%
Other effects / acceptance of results:
The test item Cerium Oxide is considered as non-irritant to skin.
After the treatment, the mean value of relative tissue viability was increased to 103.9%. This value is above the threshold for skin irritation (50%).
The optical density of the negative control was well within the required acceptability crite-rion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8.
The positive control has met the acceptance criterion too, for thus ensuring the validity of the test system.
Variation within replicates was within the accepted range for negative control, positive control and test item (required: ≤ 18%).
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Cerium Oxide is considered non-irritant to skin in the Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method.
