Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: reconstituted three-dimensional human skin model EpiDerm (MatTek)
- Tissue batch number(s): 25885

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 ± 1°C
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 37 ± 1°C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: tissues were washed by filling and emptying the inserts 15 times with Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (DPBS) using a constant stream in about 1.5 cm distance from the tissue surface, staggered again in e.g. one-minute intervals.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: MTT stock solution (i.e., 5 mg/mL MTT in PBS) diluted 1 + 4 with Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM)-based medium (final concentration 1 mg/mL)
- Incubation time: 3 h ± 5 min
- Spectrophotometer: Yes, plate spectrophotometer
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Filter: Yes
- Filter bandwidth: ± 30 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: 1.52 ± 0.086
- Barrier function: 7.27 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
The irritant potential was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the negative control. If the mean relative tissue viability is > 50% the test material is not considered an irritant. If the mean relative tissue viability is ≤ 50%, the test material is considered an irritant.

The test meets acceptance criteria if:
- mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues is ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8
- mean relative tissue viability of the three positive control tissues is ± 20%
- standard deviation (SD) of relative tissue viability obtained from each three concurrently tested tissues is ≤ 18%.
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:

POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied: 30 µL SDS
- Concentration: 5%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
60 min
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

Results
Irritation / corrosion parameter:
% tissue viability
Run / experiment:
mean out of 3 replicates
Value:
102.3
Vehicle controls validity:
not applicable
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Direct-MTT reduction: The mixture of 30 µL test item per 1 mL MTT medium showed no reduction of MTT compared to the solvent.
- Colour interference with MTT: The mixture did not turn blue/purple.

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (2.002). The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≥ 20% (3.0%). Standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 18% (0.1% - 9.8%).

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes
