Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the above-described experimental design, average viability of tissues treated by the test substance Acid Yellow 25 was 85.4 % of negative control average value i.e. viability was > 50 %. The effect of the test substance was negative in EpiDermTM model. According to the classification criteria given in chapter 4.5 of this report, the test substance, Acid Yellow 25, is considered to have no category in accordance with UN GHS and is therefore considered a non-irritant.

Executive summary:

The test substance, Acid Yellow 25, was assayed for in vitro skin irritation in the human epidermal model EpiDerm^TM. The test was performed according to the OECD Test GuidelineNo. 439: In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method (2015) and Protocol for: In Vitro EpiDerm^TMSkin Irritation Test For use with MatTek Corporation’s Reconstructed Human Epidermal Model EPI-200-SIT (see par. 1.4).

In preliminary experiments neither colour interference with the endpoint nor direct MTT reduction were found.

After pre-incubation of tissues, 25 mg of the test substance was placed directly on previously moistened tissue and spread on the entire tissuesurface. The length of exposure was 60 minutes. Three tissues were used for the test substance and for positive and negative controls.

After removal of the test substance, tissues were post-incubated for approximately
42 hours. Three hours incubation with MTT and two hours extraction period with shaking followed then. Optical density (OD₅₇₀) of isopropyl alcohol extracts was measured on a spectrophotometer. Relative cell viability was calculated for each tissue as % of the mean viability of the negative control tissues.

Under the above-described experimental designaverage viability of treated tissues was85.4%,i.e. viability was >50 %.

The effect of the test substancewasnegative inEpiDerm^TMmodel (tissues were not damaged).

According to the classification criteria given in chapter 4.5.,the test substance,Acid Yellow 25, is considered to have no categoryin regard to skin irritation.
