In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Justification for test system used:
The EpiDerm Skin Model is a well-established organotypic, three-dimensional model of the human epidermis and is used for in vitro experiments since many years. It is known for its similarity to human skin.
Details on test system:
The test was performed on a total of 4 tissues per dose group, 2 replicates for each treatment period
(3 min and 60 min exposure time).
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount/concentration applied:
Negative control 50 µL distilled water
Positive control 50 µL 8 N KOH
Test Item 25 mg + 50 µL H2O
Duration of treatment / exposure:
3 min and 60 min exposure time
Number of replicates:
2 replicates for each treatment period

Any other information on results incl. tables

Corrosivity potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained
after both treatment periods had been compared to the corresponding negative control tissues.
The test item has no non-specific MTT-reducing or colouring potential, therefore no additional controls
were necessary.
The test item showed no corrosive effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was
≥ 50% (102.5%) after 3 min treatment and ≥ 15% (89.6%) after 60 min treatment.
The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean OD570nm of the two negative control tissues
was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for each exposure period (1.907, 1.945). The mean relative tissue viability
(% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 15% (5.6%) after 60 min treatment. The coefficient
of variation (CV) (in the range of 20 – 100% viability) of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 30%
(1.4% - 8.7%).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item showed no corrosive effects. The test item is
classified as “non-corrosive“.
Executive summary:

In the present study the skin corrosivity potential of PARYFREE® DIMER was analysed. Since corrosive chemicals are cytotoxic after a short time exposure to the stratum corneum of the epidermis
the cytotoxic effects of the test item on EpiDerm, a reconstituted three-dimensional human epidermis
model, were determined. Hereby, the test item was applied topically. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the
reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT after
a 3 min and 60 min exposure period and compared to those of the concurrent negative controls.
The test item has no non-specific MTT-reducing or colouring potential, therefore no additional controls
were necessary.
The test item showed no corrosive effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was
≥ 50% (102.5%) after 3 min treatment and ≥ 15% (89.6%) after 60 min treatment.
