Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm™ Skin Model (EPI-200)
- Tissue lot number: 29404, kit J

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure (3 minutes): room temperature
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure (1 hour): in a controlled environment at 37.0 ± 1.0°C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL
- After the exposure period, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test item.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 h (at 37.0 ± 1.0°C)
- Spectrophotometer: TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 2 replicates per exposure duration

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- No color change was observed in aqueous conditions therefore it was concluded that the test item showed no color interference in aqueous conditions.
- Since a color change was observed by adding MTT-medium it was concluded that the test item did interact with the MTT endpoint.
- Two freeze-killed tissues were therefore treated with test item and two freeze-killed non treated tissues were used per exposure time for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT
- N. of replicates: 2 replicates per exposure duration
- Method of calculation used: Correction was not needed, as the non-specific MTT reduction by the test item was <= 0%
(-1.48% and -1.75% of the negative control tissues after 3 minutes and 1 hour treatment, respectively).

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
The in vitro skin corrosion test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The absolute mean OD570 of the negative control tissues should be within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit ≤2.8) and should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range.
b) The mean relative tissue viability following 1-hour exposure to the positive control should be < 15%.
c) In the range of 20 – 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) between tissue replicates should be ≤ 30%.
d) The non-specific MTT reduction should be <= 30% relative to the negative control OD.

DECISION CRITERIA
A test item is considered corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test if:
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, a test item considered non-corrosive (viability ≥ 50%) after the 3-minute treatment is considered corrosive if the relative tissue viability after 1-hour treatment with the test item is decreased below 15%.

A test item is considered non corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test if:
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is not decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, the relative tissue viability after the 1-hour treatment is not decreased below 15%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS and CLP criteria

Conclusions:

The in vitro skin corrosion test was conducted according to OECD 431 guideline and GLP principles.
It is concluded that this test is valid and that the substance is corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test.

Executive summary:

In an in vitro skin corrosion test using a human skin model (EpiDerm Skin Model), the influence of the substance on the viability of human skin was tested according to OECD 431 (2016) and GLP principles. The substance was applied undiluted directly to 0.6 cm2 cultured skin. Negative and positive controls were included. After 3 -minute and 1 -hour treatments the substance was removed and the viability of the cells was tested by reduction of MTT. In addition two freeze-killed tissues treated with test item and two freeze-killed negative control treated tissues were used for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT at each time point, as it was found that the test item interacted with the MTT endpoint. Viability of unexposed skin was set at 100%. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the substance compared to the negative control tissues was 77% and 8.5%, respectively. Correction for non-specific MTT reaction by the test item was not needed. The positive control had a mean cell viability of 7.9% after 1 hour exposure. The acceptability criteria of the study were met. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was below 15% after the 1-hour treatment, the substance is corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test. As based on the results of the study sub-categorization is not possible, the classification of Category 1 applies based on GHS and CLP criteria.
