CELL VIABILITY
- Cell viability of treated disks was 95 %, see Table 1 for results.

VALIDITY OF THE TEST
The mean OD value of the three negative control tissues was 0.641. The positive control result showed 26 % viability. Each standard deviation value (SD) of the % viability was below 18. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid.

INDICATOR FOR POTENTIAL FALSE VIABILITY
> Possible direct MTT reduction with the test material: No colour change was observed after three hours of incubation of the test item in MTT solution. The test material did not interact with the MTT, therefore additional controls and data calculations were not necessary. A false estimation of viability can be precluded.
> Colouring potential of the test material: As the test material has an intrinsic colour, one additional chemical-treated tissue was used for the non specific OD evaluation. Mean OD (measured at 540 nm) of this tissue was determined as 0.025, Non Specific Colour % was calculated as 4 %. Therefore additional data calculation was not necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, exposure to the test material resulted in a mean relative cell viability of 95 %. Since the cell viability was determined to be > 50 % of the negative control the test material was considered to be non-irritating.

Executive summary:

The potential for the test material to cause skin irritation was predicted in an in vitro study using the EPISKIN Model. The study was conducted under GLP conditions and in line with OECD 439 and EU Method B.46. The test material was applied topically to the surface of the skin for 15 minutes, which was terminated by rinsing with PBS 1 x solution (0.9 %). Epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5 % CO2. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37 °C in 5 % CO2 protected from light. The formazan extract in acidified isopropanol was then spectrophotometrically evaluated for optical density (OD) and quantified. Positive and negative controls were run concurrently and tissue viability was expressed as a % relative to the negative control.

Under the conditions of the test, exposure to the test material resulted in a mean relative cell viability of 95 %. Since the cell viability was determined to be > 50% of the negative control the test material was considered to be non-irritating.
