Details on study design:
After pre-incubation of EpiDerm™ tissues was completed (1 hour for each treatment)
medium was replaced by 0.9 mL fresh assay medium in all four 6-well plates. 50 μL
deionised water (negative control) were added into the first insert atop the EpiDerm tissue.
The procedure was repeated with the second tissue. It was proceeded with test item and
the positive control in the same manner until all tissues of the same treatment interval
were dosed. The 6-well plates were placed into the incubator (37 ± 1.5 °C, 5 ± 0.5% CO2).

After the end of the treatment interval the first insert was removed immediately from the 6-
well plate. Using a wash bottle the tissue was gently rinsed with PBS to remove any
residual test material. Excess PBS was removed by gently shaking the insert and blotting
the bottom with blotting paper. The insert was placed in the prepared holding plate. It was
proceeded with test item and the positive control in the same manner until all EpiDerm™
tissues were dosed.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
In the present study the test item FAT 40840/A TE was tested for its potential to induce skin corrosion in a human skin model. The test allows the
discrimination between corrosive and non-corrosive chemical substances and mixtures. It does not provide information on skin irritation, nor does it allow the subcategorisation of corrosive substances according to GHS.

Executive summary:

This in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of FAT 40840/A TE by

means of the Human Skin Model Test.

Two tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm™ were treated with either the test item, the

negative or the positive control for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively.

About 25 mg of the test item were applied to each tissue, wetted with 25 μL deionised

water, and spread to match the tissue size.

50 μL of either the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (8.0 N KOH)

were applied to each tissue.

After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well above the

required acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.8 for both treatment intervals thus showing

the quality of the tissues.

Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as

compared to the negative control both for the 3 minutes treatment interval and for the 1

hour treatment interval thus ensuring the validity of the test system.

After treatment with the test item FAT 40840/A TE the relative absorbance values were

decreased to 86.6% after 3 minutes treatment. After 1 hour treatment relative absorbance

values were reduced to 74.8%. Both values are well above the threshold for corrosivity

(50% for 3 minutes treatment and 15% for 1 hour treatment). Therefore, the test item is

not considered corrosive.

In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions

reported, the test item FAT 40840/A TE is non corrosive to skin.
