- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: SpectraMax M5 (Molecular Devices)
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Filter / Filter bandwidth / Linear OD range of spectrophotometer: No data

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: Test was performed in triplicate

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
- The test substance is considered to be irritant to skin if the mean tissue viability after exposure is less than or equal to 50%.
- The test substance is considered to be non-irritant to skin if the mean tissue viability after exposure is more than 50%.

ACCEPTABIILITY CRITERIA
- The absolute absorbance at 570 nm of the negative control tissues in the MTT test is an indicator of tissue viability after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. Tissue viability is acceptable if the mean absorbance of the three negative controls is ≥ 1.2 and ≤2.5
- An assay is meeting the acceptance criterion if the mean relative tissue viability of the positive control is < 40%.
- The standard deviations (calculated from individual precental tissue viabilities) among tissues of the same treatment group should be ≤18%.

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: Cell viability at day 17 is 1.475 +/- 0.021 where an O.D. of > 0.7 is accepted
- Barrier function: Exposure time inducing 50% viability (using Triton X-100 1%) is 4.8h where 4-10h is accepted
- Morphology / contamination: The culture and histology of the skin is found to be conform (sufficient cell layers and good cell growth and sterility
- Reproducibility: The system is fully reproducible as it is commercially being sold by SkinEthic.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Category 2 (irritant)

Remarks:

based on CLP criteria

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this test, the relative mean tissue viability for the test item determined to be 9.1%. This value is below the threshold for irritancy of ≤50%. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Ethyllinalyl acetate is at least an irritant to skin and further research is needed to be able to assign a classification in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Executive summary:

The test substance was tested according to OECD 439 (non-GLP) with the in vitro reconstructed human epidermis model. 16µL test substance was applied and the tissues were exposed for 42 minutes at room temperature, in triplicate. After exposure the tissues were rinsed with PBS. After 42 hours post-incubation a MTT assay was performed to determine the cell viability. Negative and positive controls were run in parallel and acceptance criteria were met. Under the conditions of this test, the relative mean tissue viability for the test item determined to be 9.1%. This value is below the threshold for irritancy of ≤50%. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Ethyllinalyl acetate is at least an irritant to skin and further research is needed to be able to assign a classification in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
