Test system

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 µl

NEGATIVE CONTOL:
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 µl Phosphate buffered saline

POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 µl
- Concentration (if solution): 5% (aq) Sodium dodecyl sulphate

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Exposure:15 minutes
Post incubation period: 42 hours

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: human epidermis model
- % coverage: 0.38 cm2

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): phosphate buffered saline
- Time after start of exposure: 15 minutes

POST INCUBATION PERIOD
- 42 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- 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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The positive and negative controls were within the historical control data.

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 Diisodecyl adipate compared to the negative control tissues was 103%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for Diisodecyl adipate was above 50% after 15 minutes treatment Diisodecyl adipate is considered to be non-irritant.

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