TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: room temperature
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 37°C
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Volume and number of washing steps: At the end of the exposure period, each tissue was removed from the well using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing DPBS with Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of DPBS to gently remove any residual test item. The rinsed tissues were transferred to the second column of 3 wells containing 2 mL of maintenance medium in each wellsidual test or control items and then incubated in 2mL maintenance medium for 42 h at 37 °C, 5 % CO2 in air. Number of washing steps not reported.
- Observable damage in the tissue due to washing: none reported
- Modifications to validated SOP:
Deviation 1
Due to unusual variation noted in the untreated killed control group, it was considered necessary to repeat the killed tissue groups.
Deviation 2
An assessment found the test item was able to directly reduce MTT. Therefore, an additional procedure using water killed tissues was performed. However, the results obtained showed that no interference due to direct reduction of MTT occurred. It was therefore considered unnecessary to use the results of the water killed tissues for quantitative correction of results or for reporting purposes.
MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: Labtech LT 4500 microplate reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Filter: without reference filter
- Linear OD range of spectrophotometer: not reported
FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Barrier function: IC50 = 1.8 mg/ml ( ≥ 1.5 mg/ml)
- Morphology: Well-differenciated epidermis consisting of a basal layer, several spinous and granular layers and a thinck stratum corneum
- Contamination: absence of bacteria, fungus and mycoplasma
- Reproducibility: All of the values for the negative and positive control groups fell within the historical ranges of the testing laboratory obtained in the previous six months. This was taken to show the correct functioning of the test system.
CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE:
- Fresh tissues / killed tissues: skin irritation potential performed in parallel on viable and water killed tissues for quantitative correction of the results
- Procedure used to prepare the killed tissues (if applicable): Water-killed tissues were prepared prior to the study by placing untreated EPISKINTM tissues in a 12 well plate containing 2.0 mL of sterile distilled water in each well. The tissues were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 in air for 48 +/- 1 hours. At the end of the incubation the water was discarded. Once killed the tissues were stored in a freezer (-14 to +30 °C) for up to 6 months. Before use each tissue was thawed by placing in 2.0 mL of maintenance medium for approximately 1 hour at room temperature.
- N. of replicates : 3 (test item + untreated)
- Method of calculation used: the results obtained showed that no interference due to direct reduction of MTT occurred. It was therefore considered unnecessary to use the results of the water killed tissues for quantitative correction of results or for reporting purposes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not skin irritating
- Remarks:
- in accordance with EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its updates)
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not classified for skin irritation according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin irritation study was performed according to the OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP, using the EPISKINTM reconstructed human epidermis model.
Triplicate tissues were treated with the test item for an exposure period of 15 minutes. At the end of the exposure period each tissue was rinsed before incubating for 42 hours. The test item was found to directly reduce MTT and therefore additional non-viable tissues were incorporated into the testing for correction purposes. At the end of the post-exposure incubation period each tissue was taken for MTT-loading. The maintenance medium from beneath each tissue was transferred to pre-labeled micro tubes and stored in a freezer for possible inflammatory mediator determination. After MTT-loading a total biopsy of each epidermis was made and placed into micro tubes containing acidified isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues. At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and duplicate 200 µL samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labeled 96-well plate. The optical density was measured at 570 nm.
The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 95.9% after the 15-Minute exposure period and 42-Hours post-exposure incubation period.
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 12.2% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the viability was 0.7%. The positive control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.
The mean OD570 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.656 and the standard deviation value of the viability was 7.3%. The negative control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.
The standard deviation calculated from individual tissue viabilities of the three identically test item treated tissues was 11.5%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
All of the values for the negative and positive control groups fell within the historical ranges of the testing laboratory obtained in the previous six months. This was taken to show the correct functioning of the test system.
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not skin irritating.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for skin irritation endpoint.
