Specific details on test material used for the study:

Batch identification: C520/094/2017

In vitro test system

Test system:

artificial membrane barrier model

Source species:

other: Corrositex® kit

Details on animal used as source of test system:

Corrositex® kit, InVitro International, Irvine CA, USA

Justification for test system used:

The Corrositex® assay is a standardized in vitro corrosion test. The Corrositex® assay kit is commercially available from InVitro International

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on test system:

The Corrositex® Biobarrier Membrane is a test system consisting of a reconstituted collagen matrix. The assay is based on the time that the test substance requires to penetrate through the Corrositex® Biobarrier Membrane and produce a change in the Chemical Detection System (CDS).

The Corrositex® assay is used to determine the corrosive potential of test substances. The assay is limited to testing materials which cause detectable pH changes in the CDS .

Amount/concentration applied:

undiluted

Test animals

Species:

other:

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes

Amount / concentration applied:

500 µL of the undiluted test substance were added onto the membrane disc

Duration of treatment / exposure:

one time

Observation period:

The time until a color change was observed was recorded manually and the breakthrough times of the four replicates were used to determine the corrosive potential of the test substance.

The first vial was observed for three minutes for any change in the CDS. If no color change was observed within three minutes, the remaining membranes were treated with the test substance. An electronic time clock was started with each application. The vials were continuously observed for the first ten minutes. Thereafter, the vials were observed for approximately ten minutes around the time points relevant for evaluation or until breakthrough of the test substance occurred

Details on study design:

The experimental design of this study consisted of
- a qualification screen with the CDS (to determine if a color change can be detected)
- a categorization screen (to categorize weak acids/bases and strong acids/bases
- a definitive Corrositex® assay

Corrositex® assay

Following the acceptance of the positive control, the Corrositex® assay was performed for the test substance. Four vials containing the CDS were used for the test substance.

In addition, one vial was used for the PC, the NC and the color control (blank) each.
A membrane disc coated with the biobarrier matrix was placed into one vial containing the CDS and approximately 500 µL test substance were added onto the membrane disc. The vial was observed for three minutes for any change in the CDS.

If no color change was observed within three minutes the membranes remaining were treated with the test substance. The vials were observed continuously for the first ten minutes. Thereafter, the vials were observed for approximately ten minutes around the time points relevant for evaluation or until breakthrough of the test substance. The elapsed time between test substance application and the first change in the indicator solution (i.e. barrier penetration) was recorded.

The positive control vial was prepared as described above and contained one pellet of sodium hydroxide on top of the membrane disc. This vial was continuously monitored until breakthrough.

The negative control vial was prepared as described above and contained 500 µL 10% citric acid. This vial was observed for 60 minutes and was evaluated as “non-corrosive” if no reaction had been observed.
