- Remarks on result:
- positive indication of irritation
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 5.3% versus 2.3% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Therefore, the test item must be considered as skin irritant (cat 2) or skin corrosive (Cat 1).
- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: no
- Direct-MTT reduction: no
- Colour interference with MTT: no
DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: yes. A full demonstration of proficiency was performed for the EpiSkin-SM model, plus a reduced validation with the SkinEthic RHE model. Adequate results were obtained for the evaluated chemicals.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes, SD of the negative control group was 10.1% (acceptablility criteria, SD ≤ 18%) and OD mean was 0.822 (measured after a 1:2 dilution of the formazan extracts in isopropanol; the acceptability criteria
should be in the range ≥ 0.4 and ≤1.5).
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, SD of the positive control group was 0.2% (acceptablility criteria, SD ≤ 18%) and mean viability was 2.3% which is much lower than 50%.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes. SD of test item was 0.6% (acceptablility criteria, SD ≤ 18%).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: classified as corrosive (Cat 1) or irritant (Cat 2) (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- In the in vitro skin irritation RHE method, the mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 5.3% versus 2.3% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Therefore, the test item must be considered as skin irritant (cat 2) or skin corrosive (Cat 1).
- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin irritation test of the test item was performed in a reconstructed human SkinEthic RHE® model, according to OECD TG 439 (GLP study). Three epidermis units were treated with 16 μL test item for 42 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with 25 x 1 mL of DPBS. The epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues with MTT, extracting the precipitated formazan crystals using isopropanol during 2 hours under gentle agitation in the dark, and measuring the concentration of formazan by determining the OD at 570 nm, just after dilution of the extracts 1:2 in isopropanol. Under test conditions, the mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 5.3%, versus 2.3% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Therefore, the test item must be considered as skin irritant (cat 2) or skin corrosive (Cat 1).
