In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
Commercially available EpiDermTM-Kit.
The EpiDermTM tissue consists of human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDermTM tissues are cultured on specially prepared cell cultures inserts.

Origin
EpiDermTM tissues were procured from MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Bratislava.
Designation of the kit: EPI-200-SIT
Day of delivery: 09. Feb. 2016
Batch no.: 23312
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
Test material: Tissue 1: 24.9 mg; Tissue 2: 25.0 mg; Tissue 3: 25.4 mg
Negative control: 30 μL DPBS buffer per tissue
Positive control: 30 μL 5% SDS-solution per tissue
Duration of treatment / exposure:
60 min
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
23 h and 30 min
Number of replicates:
3 tissues

Other effects / acceptance of results:
The relative absorbance values were increased to 107.4 % after the treatment. This value is above the threshold for skin irritation (50%). Therefore, the test item is considered as not irritant to skin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is considered as not skin irritant.
Executive summary:

After the treatment, the relative absorbance values were increased to 107.4%. This value is well above the threshold for skin irritation (50 %). The optical density of the negative control was well within the required acceptability criterion

of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8, the OD was 1.6. The positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 3.7 % (required: < 20 %) for thus ensuring the validity of the test system.

Variation within replicates was within the accepted range for negative control, positive control and test item (required: ≤ 18 %). For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.
