Specific details on test material used for the study:
STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: at room temperature, in a closed container, protected from sunlight

In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Justification for test system used:
The EPISKIN model has been validated for irritation testing. It is used as a replacement for the Draize Skin Irritation test (OECD TG 404) for the purposes of distinguishing between skin irritating and non-skin irritating test substances.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiSkinTM Small Model (EpiSkinTMSM), manufactured by EPISKIN SNC Lyon, France
- Tissue batch number(s): 15-EKIN-005
- Date of initiation of testing: 04 Feb 2015

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

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Volume of washing steps: rinsed thoroughly with PBS 1x solution
- Modifications to validated SOP: no

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 h (± 5 min)
- Wavelength: 570 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: 21.9 ± 0.4
- Barrier function: 2.2 mg/mL
- Morphology: Well-differentiated epidermis consisting of a basal layer, several spinous and granular layers and a thick stratum corneum
- Contamination: no
- Reproducibility: yes

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- Method of calculation used:
Blank: The mean of the 6 blank OD values is calculated
Negative control:
- Individual negative control OD values are corrected with the mean blank OD:
OD Negative Control (ODNC) = ODNC raw – OD blank mean
- The corrected mean OD of the 3 negative control values is calculated: this corresponds to 100% viability
Positive control:
- Individual positive control OD values are corrected with the mean blank OD: :
OD Positive Control (ODPC) = ODPC raw – OD blank mean
- The corrected mean OD of the 3 positive control values is calculated
- The % viability for each positive control replicate is calculated relative to the mean negative control:
% Positive Control 1 = (ODPC1 / mean ODNC) ×100
- The mean value of the 3 individual viability % for positive control is calculated:
Mean PC % = (%PC1 + %PC2 + %PC3) / 3
Test item:
- Individual test item OD values are corrected with the mean blank OD: :
OD Treated Tissue (ODTT) = ODTT raw – OD blank mean
- The corrected mean OD of the 3 test item values is calculated
- The % viability for each test item replicate is calculated relative to the mean negative control:
% Treated Tissue 1 = (ODTT1 / mean ODNC) ×100
% Treated Tissue 2 = (ODTT2 / mean ODNC) ×100
% Treated Tissue 3 = (ODTT3 / mean ODNC) ×100
- The mean value of the 3 individual viability % for test item is calculated
Mean TT % = (%TT1 + %TT2 + %TT3) / 3

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 1

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)

Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:

- Colour interference with MTT: no

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: yes

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
The mean OD value of the three negative control tissues should be between 0.6 and 1.5 and the standard deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤ 18.
The acceptable mean percentage viability range for positive controls is 0-40% and the standard deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤ 18.
For test chemicals, the standard deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤ 18.

- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes, as the mean OD value of the three negative control tissues was 0.850.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, as the mean OD value obtained for the positive control was 0.171 and this result corresponds to 20 % viability when compared to the results obtained from the negative controls.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes, as each calculated standard deviation value (SD) for the % viability was below 18.
