Description of key information
Skin irritation_EpiDerm
The potential of the test item to induce skin irritation was analysed by using the three-dimensional human epidermis model EpiDerm (MatTek) comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. The test item showed no irritant effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was > 50% (94.2%) after 60 min treatment and 42 h post-incubation.
Eye irritation_BCOP:
The eye irritancy potential of GUP was investigated in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay. The test item was suspended with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl (see 10.2) to give a 20% concentration. All 3 corneas treated with GUP showed slight opacity of the tissue. The following mean in vitro irritation score was calculated: 3.58. No prediction can be made regarding the classification of the test substance GUP according to the evaluation criteria.

Storage Conditions: room temperature, protected from light - Test system:
- human skin model
- Remarks:
- EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis model (MatTek)
- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Cell source:
- other: EpiDermTM, a reconstituted three-dimensional human epidermis model.
- Source strain:

- Details on animal used as source of test system:
- EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis model (MatTek)
- Justification for test system used:
- This test method is able to detect chemicals that cause skin irritation, i.e. produce reversible damage to the skin and allows for hazard identification in accordance with UN GHS “Category 2”. Depending on the regulatory framework it can also be used to identify non-classified chemicals.
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on test system:
- The test was carried out with the reconstituted three-dimensional human skin model EpiDerm (MatTek). This skin model consists of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. The NHEK are cultured on chemically modified, collagen-coated cell culture inserts (Millicell ). The EpiDerm epidermis model exhibits in vivo-like morphological and growth characteristics which are uniform and highly reproducible. It consists of organised basal, spinous and granular layers and a multi-layered stratum corneum analogous to patterns found in vivo.
Preparation and Application of the Test Item
25 μL of sterile DPBS was applied to the epidermal surface in order to improve the contact between the powder and the epidermis. Afterwards, 25 mg (39 mg/cm2) of the test item was applied directly atop the EpiDerm tissue using an application spoon avoiding compression of the test item. The test item was spread to match size of the tissue by gently shaking the inserts or by using a bulbheaded Pasteur pipette.

Controls were set up in parallel to the test item in order to confirm the validity of the test.
Negative Control
Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (DPBS; Gibco, Cat. No. 14040-091, Lot No.: 1838067).

- Executive summary:
The potential of the test item to induce skin irritation was analysed by using the three-dimensional human epidermis model EpiDerm (MatTek) comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. In the present study GUP was applied topically to the EpiDerm tissue for 60 min followed by a 42 h post-incubation period and immediate determination of cytotoxic effects via MTT reduction assay. Irritant potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained compared to the corresponding negative control tissues concurrently treated with DPBS. The test item showed no irritant effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was > 50% (94.2%) after 60 min treatment and 42 h post-incubation. The controls confirmed the validity of the study.

- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The tissue surrounding the eyeball was carefully pulled away and the cornea was excised leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish containing HBSS. Before the corneas were mounted in corneal holders (Duratec GmbH) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior chamber, they had been visually examined for defects and any defective cornea had been discarded. The anterior chamber was then positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The chambers of the corneal holder were then filled with RPMI (without phenol red) containing 1% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine (complete RPMI). The posterior chamber was always filled first. The corneas were incubated for one hour at 32 1 °C.

20% concentration. All 3 corneas treated with GUP showed slight opacity of the tissue. The following mean in vitro irritation score was calculated: 3.58.
No prediction can be made regarding the classification of the test substance GUP according to the evaluation criteria.
The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid.
The negative control responses should result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control.
