Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

The EPISKIN model is a three-dimensional reconstituted human epidermis model consisting of adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen. A highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model is obtained after a 13 day culture period comprising the main basal, supra basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum.

Direct MTT Reduction:
An assessment found the test material was able to directly reduce MTT. Therefore, an additional procedure using water-killed tissues was performed during the determination of skin corrosion potential. However, the results obtained showed that no degree of interference due to direct reduction of MTT occurred. It was therefore considered unnecessary to use the results of the water-killed tissues for quantitative correction of results or for reporting purposes.

Test Material, Positive Control Material and Negative Control Material:
Mean OD540 values and viabilities for the negative control, positive control and test material are given in Table 1.
The relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues was as follows:
240 minutes exposure: 96.6%
60 minutes exposure: 108.2%
3 minutes exposure: 102.9%

The qualitative evaluation of tissue viability is given in Table 2.

Following the 3, 60 and 240 Minute exposure periods the test material treated tissues appeared blue which was considered to be indicative of viable tissue.

Quality Criteria:
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 4.8% relative to the negative control treated tissues following the 240-minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test material was considered to be Non-Corrosive to the skin and accredited the EU risk phrase of No label and a UN packing group Non-Corrosive.

Executive summary:

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the corrosivity potential of the test material using the EPISKIN^TM in vitro Reconstituted Human Epidermis (RHE) Model after treatment periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. This method was designed to meet the requirements of the OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 431 “In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test” (adopted 13 April 2004).

The EPISKIN model is able to distinguish between corrosive and non-corrosive chemicals for all of the chemical types studied, and is also able to distinguish between known R35 (UN packing group I) and R34 (UN packing group II & III) chemicals.

Duplicate tissues were treated with the test material for exposure periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. At the end of the exposure period the test material was rinsed from each tissue before each tissue was taken for MTT-loading. After MTT loading a total biopsy of each epidermis was made and placed into micro tubes containing acidified isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues.

At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and duplicate 200 µl samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96 well plate. The optical density was measured at 540 nm.

Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test material treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).

The relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues was:

240 minutes exposure: 96.6%

60 minutes exposure: 108.2%

3 minutes exposure: 102.9%

The quality criteria required for acceptance of results in the test were satisfied.

The test material was considered to be Non-Corrosive to the skin and accredited the EU risk phrase of No label and a UN packing group Non-Corrosive.
