migrated information: powder

Test system

Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 25 mg, moistened with 25 µl water

NEGATIVE CONTOL:
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 50 µl Milli-Q water

POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 50 µl KOH
- Concentration (if solution): 8 N
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Exposure:3 minutes and 1 hour
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: human skin model
- % coverage: 0.6 cm²

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): phosphate buffered saline
- Time after start of exposure: 3 minutes and 1 hour


SCORING SYSTEM:
- Percentage viability: After treatment, the medium was replaced by 300 µl MTT-medium and tissues were incubated for
3 hours at 37 °C in air containing 5 % CO2. After incubation the tissues were washed with PBS and formazan was extracted with 2 ml isopropanol over night at room temperature. The amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically at 540 nm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not corrosive
Conclusions:
The in vitro skin irritation test was conducted according to OECD 431 guideline and GLP principles. It is concluded that this test is valid and that FAT 41043/A is not corrosive in the in vitro skin irritation test.
Executive summary:

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with FAT 41043/A compared to the negative control tissues was 98 % and 111 %, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for FAT 41043/A was not below 50 % after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15 % after the 1-hour treatment FAT 41043/A is considered to be not corrosive. The positive and negative controls induced appropriate responses.
