Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDermTM (EPI-200-SIT; MatTek)
- Tissue lot number: 25888

TEST FOR DIRECT MTT REDUCTION
- to check the non-specific MTT-reducing capability of the test item 25 mg of the test item were mixed per 1 mL MTT medium and incubated for 60 min at 37 ± 1 °C in the incubator (5 % CO2, 95 % RH).
- untreated MTT medium was used as control.
- if the mixture turns blue/purple, the test item is presumed to have reduced MTT and the part of absorption due to the non-specific reduction of MTT (NSMTT) was determined by using freeze-killed tissues.

TEST FOR COLOUR INTERFERENCE
- to check the colouring potential of the test item 25 mg of the test item were mixed per 300 µL aqua dest. and per 300 µL isopropanol each in a transparent recipient and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 60 min (5 % CO2, 95 % RH).
- the mixture showed no colouring detected by unaided eye assessment. So the additional functional test with viable tissues and the quantitative corrections were not necessary.

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 ± 1 °C for 35 ± 1 minutes followed by incubation at room temperature until the 60 ± 1 minute treatment period was completed
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation: 37 ± 1 °C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- after the end of the treatment period the tissues were washed 15 times with DPBS.
- subsequently, the inserts were submerged three times in DPBS and shaken to remove rests of the test item.
- then inserts were rinsed once from the inside and the outside with sterile DPBS.
- inserts were placed in prepared 6-well plates containing pre-warmed fresh assay medium per well.
- plates were post-incubated at 37 ± 1 °C, 5.0% CO2, humidified to 95%, for 24 ± 2 h. Following this incubation the tissues were transferred to new wells containing fresh assay medium and incubated for additional 18 ± 2 h.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL (300 µL/well)
- Incubation time: 3 hours ± 5 minutes
- Extraction of formazan: after the MTT incubation period, the tissues were rinsed three times with DPBS and allowed to dry. The tissues were transferred into 12-well plates and immersed in 2 mL isopropanol, sealed to inhibit evaporation. Extraction was carried out protected from light at room temperature at least for 2 hours with shaking on a plate shaker.
Before using the extracts, the plate had been shaken for at least 15 minutes on a plate shaker and the inserts were pierced with an injection needle. The extract was pipetted up and down 3 times before 2 x 200 µL aliquots per each tissue were transferred into a 96-well plate. Optical density (OD) was measured with a filter band without reference wavelength in a plate spectrophotometer using isopropanol as a blank.
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Filter bandwidth: maximum ± 30 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: tissues pass analysis for tissue viability
- Barrier function: tissues pass analysis for tissue functionality
- Morphology: presence of a functional stratum corneum, a viable basal cell layer, and intermediate spinous and granular layers.
- Contamination: absence of bacteria, yeast, and other fungi (long term antibiotic, antimycotic free culture) as well as absence of HIV1-virus, Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus
Please also refer to the field "Attached background material" below.

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
The mean optical density (OD) of the three negative control tissues was calculated after blank correction. This value corresponded to 100 % tissue viability in the current test. For each individual tissue treated with the test item or the positive control, the individual relative tissue viability is calculated according to the following formula:
Relative viability (%) = [(mean ODtest item / positive control) / ODmean of negative control] * 100
For the test item and the positive control the mean relative viability ± relative standard deviation of the three individual tissues were calculated and used for classification according to the following prediction model:
Irritant potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with DPBS. The test item is considered to be irritant to skin in accordance with regulation EC 1272/2008 (UN GHS “Category 2”), if the tissue viability after exposure and post-incubation is less or equal to 50%. Further testing is required to resolve between UN GHS categories 1 and 2 and decide on the final classification of the test substance. The test substance may be considered as non-irritant to skin in accordance with UN GHS “No Category” if the tissue viability after exposure and post-treatment incubation is more than 50%.
Control samples:

Amount/concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 25 mg (39 mg/cm²) of the test item
Firstly, 25 µL of the vehicle were applied to the epidermal surface in order to improve the contact between the powder and the epidermis. Afterwards, 25 mg (39 mg/cm²) of the test item were applied directly atop the EpiDermTM tissue using an application spoon avoiding compression of the test item. The test item was spread to match size of the tissue by using a bulb-headed Pasteur pipette.

Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Direct-MTT reduction: mixture of 25 mg test item per 1 mL MTT medium showed no reduction of MTT compared to the solvent. The mixture did not turn blue/purple. Therefore, the test item did not directly reduce MTT (NSMTT equalled 0%) and a functional test with freeze-killed tissue was not necessary.
- Colour interference with MTT: mixture 25 mg of the test item per 300 µL aqua dest. and/or per 300 µL isopropanol showed no colouring detectable by unaided eye-assessment. Therefore, an additional test with viable tissues (without MTT addition) was not necessary (NSC equalled 0%).

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (value: 1.385).
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 20% (2.5 %)
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 18% (1.4 % - 15.4 %).
- The absorbance values were not below historically established boundaries.

Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
- eyes were examined for defects and any defective eyes were discarded. Eyes with scratches or any kind of opacity were not used.
- tissue surrounding the eyeball was pulled away and the cornea was excised.
- isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish containing HBSS. Before the corneas were mounted in corneal holders (Duratec GmbH) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior chamber, they had been visually examined for defects and any defective cornea had been discarded. The anterior chamber was then positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The chambers of the corneal holder were then filled with pre-warmed RPMI (without phenol red) containing 1% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine (complete RPMI).
- corneas were incubated for one hour at 32 ± 1 °C for equilibration in an air incubator.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
- after the equilibration period, the medium was removed from both chambers and replaced with fresh complete RPMI.
- an initial measurement was performed on each of the corneas using the opacitometer.
- three corneas with illuminance readings approximately equivalent to the median illuminance of all corneas were selected as negative-control corneas.
- the illuminance of each cornea was read and recorded.
- only corneas that had an initial illuminance reading I > I0/1.1651 lux (an equivalent to the opacity threshold of 7 as listed in OECD 437) were used for the assay.

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
- medium was removed from the anterior chamber and replaced with the test item or control.
- 750 µL of the test substance mixture and control substances were introduced into the anterior chamber (closed-chamber method).
- after 10 minutes incubation at 32 ± 1 °C either the test substance or the control substance was removed.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE/CONTROL SUBSTANCES
- epithelium was washed at least three times with MEM (containing phenol red).
- once the medium was free of test substance, the cornea was finally rinsed with complete RPMI (without phenol red).

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- anterior chamber was refilled with complete RPMI and an illuminance measurement was performed after 2 hours incubation at 32 ± 1 °C.
- corneas were visually examined for tissue peeling, residual test chemical and non-uniform opacity patterns and observation were recorded.
- after the illuminance measurement was performed, the medium was removed from both chambers of the holder.
- posterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete RPMI.
- 1 mL of a 4 mg/mL sodium fluorescein solution was added to the anterior chamber and the corneas were incubated for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C in horizontal position.
- then the medium from the posterior chamber was removed and its optical density at 490 nm (OD490) was determined, using a spectrophotometer (Jenway 6405 UV/VIS).

Evaluation of the opacity:
- the following formula was used to calculate the opacity, whereas the values a and b are equipment-specific variables empirically determined by the manufacturer:
Opacity = ((I0/I) - b)/ a
with a = 0.025 and b = 0.9894
- value I0 is the illuminance through a holder without cornea, but with windows and liquid. This value is determined by taking the mean for a set of cornea holders and is reevaluated periodically. This I0 value was than calculated to the respective data of the opacitometer and the data according to guideline (opacity < 7). So the initial illuminance could be calculated and corneas below this value were discarded.
- change in opacity for each cornea (test item, positive and negative control) was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. These values of test item treated cornea or positive control were corrected by subtracting from each the average change in opacity observed for the negative-control corneas to obtain a corrected opacity. The mean opacity value for each treatment was calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for a given treatment.

Evaluation of the permeability:
- mean OD490 for the blank cuvettes was calculated.
- mean blank OD490 was subtracted from the OD490 of each cuvette (corrected OD490).
- any dilutions that were made to bring the OD490 values into the linear range of the spectrophotometer (OD490 should be less than 1.500), were taken into account by multiplying the OD490 value of the dilution by the dilution factor.
- final-corrected OD490 of the test article and the positive control were calculated by subtracting the average-corrected OD490 of the negative-control corneas from the corrected OD490 value of each treated cornea:
Final-corrected OD490 = (OD490 – mean blank OD490) – average-corrected negative control OD490
- mean OD490 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the final corrected OD490 values of the treated corneas for that treatment condition.

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro irritation score (IVIS):
IVIS = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD490 value)
To determine the IVIS of the positive control and the test item, the corrected opacity and OD490 values were used.
For the IVIS cut-off values for identifying test substances as inducing serious eye damage (UN GHS Category 1) and test substances not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS No Category) please refer to table 1 in the field "Any other information on material and methods incl. tables" below.

ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA
- the BCOP assay is considered to be valid if the in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control falls within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
- the negative control responses should result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control.
