PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if the relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is decreased below 50%. 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%.
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is not decreased below 50%. In addition, the relative tissue viability after the 1-hour treatment is not decreased below 15%.

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent positive control

Amount/concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
The skin was moistened with 25 μl Milli-Q water (Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA) to ensure close contact of the test item to the tissue and 35.2 to 67.9 mg of the solid test item was added into the 6-well plates on top of the skin tissues.

NEGATIVE CONTROL / POSITIVE CONTROL
2 tissues were treated with 50 μl Milli-Q water (negative control) and 2 tissues were treated with 50 μl 8N KOH (positive control)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

The test was performed on a total of 4 tissues per test item together with a negative control and positive control. Two tissues were used for a 3-minute exposure to the test item and two for a 1-hour exposure.

Number of replicates:

2

Other effects / acceptance of results:

The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit <=2.8) and the laboratory historical control data range. The mean relative tissue viability following the 1-hour exposure to the positive control was 7.4%.
In the range of 20 - 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was < 10%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In conclusion, CH02886 is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate CH02886 for its ability to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of CH02886 was tested through topical application for 3 minutes and 1 hour.

The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD 431 and EC (EC 440/2008) guidelines.

Batch /EJ of CH02886 was a white moist solid. Skin tissue was moistened with 25 µL of Milli-Q water and at least 25 mg of CH02886 was applied directly on top of the skin tissue.

The positive control had a mean relative tissue viability of 7.4% after the 1-hour exposure. The absolute mean OD₅₇₀(optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues waswithin the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit£2.8) andthe laboratory historical control data range. In the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was < 10%,indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with CH02886 compared to the negative control tissues was 94% and 93%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for CH02886 was above 50% after the 3-minute treatment and above 15% after the 1-hour treatment CH02886 is considered to be not corrosive to the skin.

In conclusion, CH02886 is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
