In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Source strain:
not specified
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: Episkin (EPISKIN SNC, Lyon, France)
- Tissue batch number: 15-EKIN-005
- Expiry date: 9 Feb 2015

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 °C
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation: 37 °C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: The test substance was washed from the skin surface with phosphate buffered saline (PBS).

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 h ± 5 min
- Spectrophotometer: 96-well plate spectrometer
- Wavelength: 570 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: The quality of the final product was assessed by undertaking an MTT cell viability test and a cytotoxicity test with sodium dodecyl sulphate.
- Morphology: Histological examination was performed to demonstrate a human epidermis-like structure. A well-differentiated epidermis consisting of a basal layer, several spinous and granular layers and a thick stratum corneum was observed.
- Contamination: All biological components of the epidermis and the kit culture medium have been tested for the presence of viruses, bacteria and mycoplasma.

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: A single experiment was conducted.

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
- The test substance is considered to be irritant to skin if the viability after 15 min exposure and 42 h post-incubation is less than 50%.
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 10 µL

NEGATIVE CONTROL
- Amount applied: 10 µL

POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount applied: 10 µL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
15 ± 0.5 min at room temperature
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
42 ± 1 h
Number of replicates:
in triplicates for each treatment and control group

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results
Irritation / corrosion parameter:
% tissue viability
Remarks:
mean value of 3 tissues
Run / experiment:
15 minutes exposure
Value:
79
Vehicle controls validity:
not applicable
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Other effects / acceptance of results:
The test item showed slightly reduced cell viability in comparison to the negative control (mean value: 79%). However, all obtained test item viability results were above 50% when compared to the viability values obtained from the negative control. Therefore, the test item was considered to be non-irritant to skin.
Positive and negative controls showed the expected cell viability values within acceptable limits.

Possible direct MTT reduction with test substance:

No colour change was observed after 3 h of incubation. The test substance did not interact with the MTT, therefore additional controls and data calculations were not necessary. A false estimation of viability can be excluded.

Colouring potential of test substance:

The test substance showed no ability to become coloured in contact with water. The intrinsic colour of the test substance is light yellow and therefore considered to be not able to significantly stain the tissues and lead to a false estimate of the viability. Additional controls and data calculations were not necessary. A false estimation of the viability can be excluded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
Based on the experimental findings and under the conditions of the test, the test substance has no skin irritating properties.
