TEST METHOD
The model represents a reconstructed three-dimensional skin model based on normal human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered epidermis including basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum. Irritant materials are identified by their ability to penetrate the stratum corneum and to damage the underlaying cell layers which is determined through a decrease in cell viability as determined by MTT reduction assay.
ADAPTATION TO CELL CULTURE CONDITIONS
Upon receipt, tissues were transferred into 12-well plates containing prewarmed assay medium per well and preincubated in a humidified incubator for at least 1 h (37 ± 1.5 °C, 5% ± 0.5% CO2) before use.

CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS
For determining alterations in cell viability, MTT reduction assays were performed 42 h after the incubation period. Therefore, tissues were incubated in 300 µL prewarmed MTT solution for 3 h at 37 ± 1.5 °C and 5 ± 0.5% CO2. After aspiration of the MTT solution, tissues were washed 3 times in PBS followed by tissue drying. Extraction of the formazan product was carried out in 0.5 mL isopropanol. The optical density was measured at 570 nm wave length in a plate spectrophotometer. - Irritation / corrosion parameter:

Additional information
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Hazard assessment is based on the weight of evidence from an in
vitro skin irritation study according to OECD 439, the in vitro skin
corrosion study and an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD 402.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
There is only one study available.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
In the skin irritation study in vitro, the treatment with the test substance resulted in a cell viability of 24.9%. This value is below the threshold for irritancy of <= 50% and thus the test substance requires classification (CLP Cat. 1 or 2).
In the skin corrosion study in vitro, the treatment with the test substance resulted in a viability of 94.6 % after 3 min and 91.9 % after 1 h incubation, indicating that the test substance has no corrosive effects on skin (not CLP Cat. 1).
In the acute dermal toxicity study in rats, crust formation (as a sign of irritation) was noted in 2/10 animals two and three days after dosing. No other signs of dermal irritation were noted and the scores for erythema and edema recorded daily after patch removal up to 14 days were 0. Thus taking into account the results of the acute dermal toxicity study in the rat for skin reactions, the test substance is found to be non-corrosive.
In conclusion, based on the weight of evidence approach, the test substance is considered irritating and meets the classification criteria as Skin Irrit. 2; H315 according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
The available data on eye irritation of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
