Test animals

Species:
other: reconstituted human epidermis
Strain:
other: not applicable
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Not applicable as the test was performed in vitro.

Test system

Type of coverage:
other: test material applied directly
Preparation of test site:
other: not applicable
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: not applicable
Amount / concentration applied:
10 µl of the test material was applied to the epidermis surface.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
15 minutes
Observation period:
Not applicable
Number of animals:
The test was conducted In Vitro. Three replicate test tissues were used for the main test.
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Whole of test tissue surface
- % coverage: 100%
- Type of wrap if used: Not applicable


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): At the end of the exposure period, each tissue was removed from the well of the treatment plate using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing Phosphate Buffered Saline Dulbeccos (PBS) with Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of PBS to gently remove any residual test material.
- Time after start of exposure: 15 ± 0.5 minutes.

SCORING SYSTEM: Not applicable

Basis: mean. Time point: 15 minutes. Remarks: Score is in % terms. (migrated information)

Any other information on results incl. tables

For the test material the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained after the 15 minute treatment followed by the 42 hour post-exposure incubation period were compared to the mean of the negative control treated tissues (n=3). The relative mean viabilities were calculated in the following way:

Classification of irritation potential is based upon relative tissue viability following the 15 minute exposure period followed by the 42 hour post-exposure incubation period according to the following table:

SD=   Standard deviation

*=     The mean viability of the negative control tissues is set at 100%

The relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues was 87.8% after a 15 minute exposure.

        

The MTT solution containing the test material did not turn blue/purple which indicated that the test material did not directly reduce MTT.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: As specified in the test method.
Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be Non-Irritant.
Executive summary:

The substance has been found to be non-irritating to skin in an in vitro test using the EPISKINTMreconstituted human epidermis model.
