Study Report: June 29, 2020
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 439 (In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.46 (In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Model Test)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Bratislava
Justification for test system used:
Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount/concentration applied:
30 µl
Duration of treatment / exposure:
60 minutes
Number of replicates:
3
Irritation / corrosion parameter:
% tissue viability
Value:
> 109.6 - < 111.2
Vehicle controls validity:
not applicable
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
non-irritant to human skin
Executive summary:

3 tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm were treated with the test item for 60 minutes. The test item was applied directly to each tissue and spread to match the tissue size of 0,63 cm².

After treatment with the negative control, the mean adsorbance value was within the required acceptability criterion of 0.8 mean OD  2.8, OD was 1.7. The positive control showed clear irritating effects: The mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 2,9 % (required: 20%).

The variation within the tissue replicates of negative control, positive control and test item was acceptable (required:  18 %). After treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was 109.0 %. This value is above the threshold for skin irritation potential (50 %).

Therefore the test item, Bis(4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl) ether is considered non-irritant to skin in the Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Methlod.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)
