- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Cell source:

- Justification for test system used:
- This study makes use of reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) (obtained from human derived non-transformed epidermal keratinocytes) which closely mimics the histological, morphological, biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human skin, i.e., the epidermis. Use of reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) is also recommended by OECD and other regulatory authorities.

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3
CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE:

Keys: O.D. = Optical Density, NSMTT = Non-specific MTT reduction calculation, NA = Not applicable, TODTT = Treated tissue true metabolic conversion,
Note: 1) For positive control (exposure period of 60 minutes) and Dipotassium Methanedisulphonate (exposure period of 03 and 60 minutes), NSMTT was < 0% relative to the negative control, hence true MTT metabolic conversion of treated tissue was not determined; 2) Mean O.D. Blank was 0.042; 3) Mean ODNC for 60 minutes exposure was 2.324 and mean ODNC for 03 minutes exposure was 2.328; 4) Distilled water was used for Negative control tissues and 8N KOH was used for positive control tissues
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: No category (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- Under RHE test method performed in SkinEthic RHE® model the test item does not have to be classified as skin corrosive (cat. 1).
- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin corrosion test for the test item was performed in a reconstructed human epidermis SkinEthic RHE® model, according to OECD TG 431 (GLP study). Three epidermis units were treated with 20 mg test item for 3 minutes at room temperature and for 1 hour, at 37°C, 5% CO2. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with 20 x 1 mL of DPBS. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues with MTT, extracting the precipitated formazan crystals using isopropanol and incubating the tissues for overnight in a refrigerator protected from light, and finally measuring the concentration of formazan by determining the OD at 570 nm. Under the test conditions, the mean percent viabilities of the treated tissues were 108% (for 3 min exposure) and 95% (for 60 min exposure) versus 5.31% (for 60 min exposure) of the positive control item (potassium hydroxide 8N). Therefore, the test item must be considered as non-corrosive.
