Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm™ 200 kit ( EPI-200 tissues with surface of 0.6 cm²), MatTek In Vitro LifeScience Laboratories, Bratislava, Slovakia
- Tissue batch number(s): 23348

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 3 min at room temperature or 1 hour in the incubator at 37°C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Washing: washed with PBS to remove residual test material

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1.0 mg / mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: SunriseTM Absorbance Reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: OD (540-570) 1.850 ± 0.053
- Barrier function:ET50 = 6.18 hours
(Lower acceptance limit: ET50 = 4.0 hours and Upper acceptance limit: ET50 = 8.7 hours)
- Morphology: functional stratum corneum, a viable basal cell layer, intermediate spinous and granular layers
- Contamination: no, sterile

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 2 tissues per exposure time

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- killed tissues
- Procedure used to prepare the killed tissues: EPI-200 tissue that is killed by freezing at -20°C
- N. of replicates : 2

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION:

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
Mean tissue viability
(% of negative control)
3 min: < 45 corrosive (Optional Sub-category 1A) (1)
3 min: 45-55 borderline (2)
3 min: >55 and 1 hour: 10-20 borderline (2)
3 min: >55 and 1 hour: < 10 Corrosive (Optional Sub-category 1B and 1C) (1)
3 min: >55 and 1 hour: >20 Non-corrosive
(1)According to the current OECD Guideline 431 a sub-categorization is possible based on the results. However, the sub-categorization into 1A is highly over-predictive as stated in the guideline and differentiation into sub-category 1B or 1C is not possible. If the test substance is identified to be corrosive by SCT and a transport classification is needed, the Corrositex® test should be performed, if applicable, to confirm classification as 1A or to differentiate between 1B and 1C.
(2) The „borderline“-evaluation (50 ± 5% and 15 ± 5%) was determined statistically using historic BASF data and hence considers the variance of the test method. This evaluation is an amendment to the evaluation provided in OECD Guideline 431.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Direct-MTT reduction: yes

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: yes

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
Tissue viability is acceptable if the mean OD570 of the NC is ≥ 0.8. The mean OD570 of the NC should not exceed 2.8.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
A tissue viability of ≤ 30% is acceptable for the 3-minute exposure. Mean viability of the tissues exposed for 1 hour should be <15%.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: no
In the range of 20% and 100% viability, variability between the tissues is considered to be acceptable if the coefficient of variation (CV) of %-viability is ≤ 30%. The CV of %-viability of the test substance is out of the acceptance range (46% , 1 hour exposure only). Since all other quality criteria of the test were met and the viability values are well above the cut off for skin corrosion, this deviation is not considered to adversely affect the result of this study.
