- Details on test system:
- RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: Epi-200-SIT (MatTek Corporation, 82105 Bratislava, Slovakia) is a three-dimensional human epidermis model which develops a highly differentiated and stratified epidermis analogous to those found in vivo.
- Tissue batch number: 30880
- Date of initiation of testing: 12th May 2020
TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: At 37 ± 1.5°C (first 35 min), room temperature (last 25 min)
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation: 37 ± 1.5°C
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: The tissues were gently rinsed with PBS several times in order to remove any residual test material
MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL in DMEM
- Incubation time: 3 hours in MTT solution, 3.5 hours in isorpopanol
- Spectrophotometer: Versamax® (Molecular Devices)
- Wavelength: 570 nm
FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: OD 0.03 to OD 0.11 ( positive control, corresponds to 2.24% - 6-19% viability according to HCD of laboratory); ≥ OD 0.8 and ≤ OD 2.8 (negative control, according to OECD439/MatTek protocol); ≥ OD 1.28 and ≤ OD 2.0 (according to HCD of laboratory)
- Barrier function: The barrrier function has been tested by ET-50 assay using 100 µL Triton X-100, 4 time points, n=3 using MTT assay. The acceptance criterium was fulfilled when the ET-50 was reached between 4.77 and 8.72 hours. The test result of the tissue batch used was 5.51 hours.
- Contamination: The cells used to produce EpiDerm tissue were screened for potential biological contaminants (HIV-1 virus, Hepatitis B and C virus by oligonucleotide direct amplification, bacteria, yeast and other funghi were ensured by long-term antibiotic, antimycotic-free culture). None of the listed contaminants were detected in the tissue batch used.
NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3
CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- Fresh tissues / killed tissues: Since test item/ water and test item/ isopropanol solutions did not change color significantly and the test item did not interfere with MTT, no additional tissues were necessary in the main experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification

- The test item is identified as requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS/ EU CLP “Category 2” or “Category 1”. Further testing is required to resolve between UN GHS Categories 1 and 2 and decide on the final classification of the test item.
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is irritant to skin.
- Executive summary:
This GLP compliant in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test according to OECD guideline 439. The test item did not prove to be a MTT reducer in the MTT interference pre-experiment. Also, its intrinsic color was not intensive and it did not change color when mixed with deionised water or isopropanol. Therefore, additional tests with freeze-killed tissues and/or viable tissues (without MTT addition) did not have to be performed. Each three tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm™ were treated with the test item, the negative control (DPBS) or the positive control (5% SDS) for 60 minutes. After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required range of the acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for the 60 minutes treatment interval, thus assuring the quality of the tissues. Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the viability as compared to the negative control for the 60 minutes treatment interval, thus assuring the validity of the test system. After treatment with the test item, the mean relative viability value was 2.84% compared to the relative absorbance value of the negative control. This value is below the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is considered to possess an irritant potential. In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is irritant to skin. The test item is identified as requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS/ EU CLP “Category 2” or “Category 1”, since 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 item.
