In vitro test system

Test system:

human skin model

Source species:

human

Cell type:

non-transformed keratinocytes

Cell source:

other: EPISKIN Small model

Source strain:

not specified

Details on animal used as source of test system:

Not applicable. EPISKIN small model was used which is a a three-dimensional human epidermis model, which consists of adult human derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen

Justification for test system used:

In the interest of sound science and animal welfare, a sequential testing strategy is recommended to minimise the need of in vivo testing. One of the validated in vitro skin irritation tests is the EPISKIN test, which is recommended in international guidelines (e.g. OECD and EC).

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3 tissues per test item alongside negative and positive controls

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- The substance was checked for possible colour interference before the study was started. Some non-coloured test items may change into coloured items in aqueous conditions and thus stain the skin tissues during the exposure. To assess the colour interference, at least 10 mg of the substance was added to 90 μl Milli-Q water. The mixture was mixed for approximately 15 minutes. A negative control, 10 μl Milli-Q water was tested concurrently. At the end of the shaking period a colour check was performed. The substance was checked for possible direct MTT reduction before the study was started. To assess the ability of the test item to reduce MTT, at least 10 mg of the test item was added to 2 ml MTT solution (0.3 mg/ml in PBS). The mixture was incubated for 3 hours at 37°C. A negative control, sterile Milli-Q water was tested concurrently. At the end of the incubation period a colour check was performed.

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if the viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours of post incubation is less than or equal to 50%.
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours of post incubation is greater than 50%.

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

Amount/concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 15.7 to 19.9 mg

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): Test substance applied directly.

NEGATIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight): 25 µL PBS (3 tissues)

POSITIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight): 25 µL 5% SDS (3 tissues)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Exposure period of 15 minutes after which the tissues were rinsed.

Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

42 hours

Number of replicates:

3 tissues per test item, negative control and positive control.

Positive controls validity:

valid

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: None noted
- Direct-MTT reduction and colour interference: The substance was checked for colour interference in aqueous conditions and possible direct MTT reduction by adding the test item to MTT medium. Because no colour changes were observed it was concluded that the substance did not interact with the MTT endpoint.

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: The control values were within the range of historical controls.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: Yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: Yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

It is concluded that this test is valid and that the substance is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions used and should not be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations and EU CLP (EC No. 1272/2008, as amended).
