In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: EPISKIN Small ModelTM (EPISKIN-SMTM, 0.38 cm2, Batch no.: 17 EKIN 047)

individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is ≤
50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
- The test substance is considered to be non-irritant to skin if the relative mean tissue viability of three
individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is >
50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY:
The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure of 16%. The absolute mean OD570 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 < 13%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes
- Range of historical values if different from the ones specified in the test guideline:
Negative control: Absorption OD570=0.422 – 1.547, Mean=0.98, SD=0.18, n=174
Positive control: Absorption OD570=0.023 – 0.437, Mean=0.13, SD=0.08, n=173
(SD = Standard deviation, n = Number of observations, test facility data over the period of November 2014 to November 2017)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
based on CLP criteria (Annex I 1272/2008/EC)
Conclusions:
The relative mean tissue viablility after exposure to test item was 85%. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Gurjun balsam oil (Gurjunene) does not need
to be classified for skin irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of Gurjun balsam oil (Gurjunene) was tested in accordance to OECDTG 439. Undiluted testing material was topically applied to EPISKIN-SMTM for 15 minutes.

After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed using MTT conversion measurements. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with Gurjun balsam oil (Gurjunene) compared to the negative control tissues was 82%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for testing material was above 50% after 15 minutes treatment it is not considered to be an irritant. Both the positive and the negative control were within the historical control data range and therefore considered valid. Furthermore, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 13%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. Gurjun balsam oil (Gurjunene) was determined to non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report. Therefore it can be concluded that Gurjun balsam oil (Gurjunene) does not need to be classified for skin irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
