TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- All incubations, with the exception of the test item incubation of 15 minutes at room temperature, were carried out in a controlled environment, at 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36.4 - 37.3°C)
- Humid atmosphere of 80-100% (actual range 75 - 94%) containing 5.0 ± 0.5% CO2 in air in the dark
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- After the exposure period of 15 ± 0.5 minutes at room temperature, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test item.
TEST FOR COLOR INTERFERENCE BY THE TEST ITEM
- To assess the color interference, 50 μL of the test item or 50 μL sterile Milli-Q water as a negative control was added to 1.0 mL Milli-Q water.
- The mixture was incubated for at least 1 hour at 37.0 ± 1.0°C in the dark.
- 50 μL of the test item or 50 μL sterile Milli-Q water as a negative control was added to 2.0 mL
isopropanol.
- The mixture was incubated for 2 - 3 hours at room temperature with gentle shaking.
- If after subtraction of the negative control, the OD for the test item solution is >0.08, the test item is considered as possibly interacting with the MTT measurement.
TEST FOR REDUCTION OF MTT BY THE TEST ITEM
- 50 μL of the test item was added to 1 mL MTT solution (1 mg/mL MTT in phosphate buffered saline).
- The mixture was incubated for approximately 3 hours at 37.0 ± 1.0°C in the dark.
- A negative control, 50 μL sterile Milli-Q water was tested concurrently.
- If the MTT solution color turned blue / purple or if a blue / purple precipitate was observed the test item interacts with MTT.

- FIRST EXPERIMENT
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. In the first experiment, the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 82% (117%, 117% and 12%). Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment it is considered to be nonirritant. However, since the viabilities were spread over two categories the test was repeated.
SECOND EXPERIMENT
In the second experiment, the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 45% (21%, 39% and 76%). The relative tissue viabilities for the test item were again spread over two categories. Therefore, a third experiment was performed.
THIRD EXPERIMENT
In the third experiment, the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 126% (128%, 128% and 123%). Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment the test item is considered to be non-irritant.
ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA
The positive control had a mean cell viability of 3.7%, 8.7% and 6.7% (experiment 1, 2 and 3 respectively) after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range in all three experiments. In the initial experiment, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the negative or positive control was ≤ 4.4%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the test item was 61% which is above the maximum of 18%, but a repeat experiment was performed, since the viability of the test item treated tissues was spread over two different categories.
In the second experiment, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the negative or positive control was ≤ 9.1%. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the test item was 28%, due to the results again being spread over two categories.
In the third experiment, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 2.8%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: No a skin irritant in accordance with EU CLP (EC no 1272/2008 and its amendments)
- Conclusions:
- The substance does not cause skin irritation in the in vitro skin irritation test (OECD guideline 439).
- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin irritation test according to OECD guideline 439 and in accordance with GLP principles was performed. The test item was applied undiluted (25 μL), directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42-hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. In the first experiment, the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 82% (117%, 117% and 12%). Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment it is considered to be non-irritant. However, since the viabilities were spread over two categories the test was repeated. In this first experiment, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the negative or positive control was ≤ 4.4%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the test item was 61% which is above the maximum of 18%, which was another reason to repeat the test. In the second experiment, the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 45% (21%, 39% and 76%). The relative tissue viabilities for the test item were again spread over two categories. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the negative or positive control was ≤ 9.1%. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated with the test item was 28%, this being > 18% too. Therefore, a third experiment was performed. In the third experiment, the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 126% (128%, 128% and 123%). Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment the test item is considered to be non-irritant. The positive control had a mean cell viability of 3.7%, 8.7% and 6.7% (experiment 1, 2 and 3 respectively) after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range in all three experiments. In the third and final experiment, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 2.8%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. In conclusion, the substance does not cause skin irritation in the in vitro skin irritation test.
