Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study has been performed according to OECD and/or EC guidelines and according to GLP principles. A reliability of 2 is assigned in accordance with the ECHA Practical guide #6 on the reporting of read-across in IUCLID, due to the read-across purpose.

Remarks:
viability: percentage of control. Time point: 15 minutes.
Other effects / acceptance of results:
The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 minutes exposure of 22%. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 18%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 minutes treatment with Standolized linseed oil compared to the negative control tissues was 123%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for Standolized linseed oil was above 50% after 15 minutes treatment Standolized linseed oil is considered to be non-irritant.

The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 minutes exposure of 22%. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 18%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Finally, it is concluded that this test is valid and that Standolized linseed oil is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report.

In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
other: human-derived epidermal keratinocytes. (highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model comprising the main basal, supra basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum)
Cell source:
other: not specified
Source strain:
not specified
Details on animal used as source of test system:
SOURCE ANIMAL
- Source: adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EPISKIN Standard ModelTM (EPISKIN-SMTM, 0.38 cm2) This model is a three-dimensional human epidermis model, which consists of adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen. The keratinocytes were cultured for 13 days, which results in a highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model comprising the main basal, supra basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum.
- Tissue batch number: Lot no.: 10-EKIN-006

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: Washing with phosphate buffered saline 15 minutes after exposure.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
After a 42 hour incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Cell viability was calculated for each tissue as a percentage of the mean of the negative control tissues.

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
If the mean relative tissue viability was above 50% after 15 minutes treatment the substance is considered to be non-irritant.
