In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
other: EpiDermTM Kit
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Details on animal used as source of test system:
Epi-200 kits and MTT-100 assays were purchased from MatTek Corporation (Bratislava, Slovakia). EpiDerm™ tissues were shipped at 4 °C on medium-supplemented agarose gels in a 24-well plate. On day of receipt the pre-incubation phase of the EpiDerm™ tissues started.
Justification for test system used:
The EpiDermTM is an in vitro system recommended by the corresponding guideline.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is non corrosive to skin according to EU CLP and UN GHS.
Executive summary:

An in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test with EpiDerm™ tissues models.

The test item passed the pre-test for colour interference and for direct MTT reduction. Consequently, additional tests were not necessary.

Independent duplicate tissues of EpiDerm™ were exposed to either the test item, the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (8.0 N KOH) for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. After exposure of the tissues to the test item the relative absorbance value did not decrease (105.7%) after 3 minutes exposure. After 1 hour exposure the relative absorbance value was also not reduced (124.9%). Both values did not affect the threshold for corrosiveness which is defined to be 50% after the 3 minutes exposure and 15% after the 1 hour exposure. The required acceptability criteria were met. The test item is not considered to be corrosive.
