Conclusions:

In this study under the given conditions the test item showed no corrosive effects. The test item is classified as “non-corrosive“.

Executive summary:

The potential of the test item to induce skin corrosion was analysed by using the three-dimensional human skin model EpiDermä, comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum.

In the present study TEA Trioleate was applied topically to the EpiDermä tissue for 3 min and 60 min followed by immediate determination of cytotoxic effects via MTT reduction assay.

Corrosivity potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained after both treatment periods compared to the corresponding negative control tissues.

The test item showed no non-specific MTT-reducing and no colouring potential in the relevant wavelength range, therefore no additional controls were necessary.

The test item showed no corrosive effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was > 50% (118.6%) after 3 min treatment and >15% (101.0%) after 60 min treatment.

The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean OD₅₇₀of the two negative control tissues was > 0.8 and≤ 2.8 for each exposure period. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was < 15% (5.4%) after 60 min treatment. The coefficient of variation (CV) (in the range of 20 – 100% viability) of replicate tissues of all dose groups was < 30% (4.1% - 7.2%).
