- Blood of the donors has been verified to be absent of HIV1 and 2 antibodies, hepatitis C antibodies and hepatitis B antigen HBs, bacteria, fungus and mycoplasma.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- All incubations, with the exception of the test item incubation of 15 minutes at room temperature, were carried out in a controlled environment, in which optimal conditions were a humid atmosphere of 80 - 100% (actual range 78 - 93%), containing 5.0 ± 0.5% CO2 in air in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36.5 - 37.1°C).
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: After the exposure period of 15 ± 0.5 minutes at room temperature, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test item.
- Observable damage in the tissue due to washing: No

ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA
The in vitro skin irritation test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The absolute mean OD570 of the three tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range and the acceptance limits of OECD439 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.6 and upper acceptance limit 1.5) and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤18.
b) The mean relative tissue viability of the positive control should be ≤40% relative to the negative control and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤18.
c) The SD calculated from individual % tissue viabilities of the three identically treated replicates should be ≤18.
INTERPRETATION
A test item is considered irritant in the skin irritation test if:
The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is ≤ 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
A test item is considered non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test if:
The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is > 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls. - Control samples:

- MTT REDUCTION AND COLOR INTERFERENCE
The test item was checked for possible direct MTT reduction and color interference in the Skin corrosion test using EpiDerm as a skin model as a skin model (Test Facility Study No. 20275716). Because the solutions did not turn blue / purple, nor a blue / purple precipitate was observed and the OD for the test item solution was ≤0.08, it was concluded that the test item did not interfere with the MTT endpoint.
RESULTS
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 94%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% the test item is considered to be non-irritant.
CONTROLS
The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure of 5.4%. The absolute mean OD570 of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 4.2%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not skin irritant in accordance with EU CLP (EC no 1272/2008 and its amendments)
- Conclusions:
- The substance does not cause skin irritation.
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro skin irritation test using a human skin model (EPISKIN Standard Model), the influence of the test substance on the viability of human skin was tested. The test item was applied undiluted (25 μL), directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42 ± 1 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed.
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 94%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment the test item is considered to be non-irritant.
The positive control had a mean cell viability of 5.4% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 4.2%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.In conclusion, the test substance is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test.
