Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm™ (MatTek Corporation, Bratislava, Slovakia)
- Tissue batch number: 23341
- Delivery date: 14 June 2016
- Date of initiation of testing: 14 June 2016

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: room temperature (3 ± 0.5 min exposure), 37 ± 1.5 °C (60 ± 5 min exposure)

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: Tissues were gently rinsed using a wash bottle containing DPBS to remove any residual test material (20 times).

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 h
- Spectrophotometer: microplate reader (Versamax, Molecular Devices, SoftMax Pro Enterprise v.4.7.1)
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Filter: without reference filter

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: The quality of the EpiDerm™ tissue was assessed by undertaking an MTT cell viability test. The determined OD (540 - 570 nm) was 1.908 ± 0.185 (acceptance criteria: 1.0 - 3.0).
- Barrier function: The barrier function was assessed by determination of the exposure time required to reduce tissue viability by 50% (ET-50) upon application of 100 µL of 1% Triton X-100. The ET-50 value was determined to be 6.17 h (acceptance criteria: 4.77-8.72 h).
- Contamination: The cells used to produce the EpiDerm™ tissue were screened for the presence of viruses, bacteria, yeast and other fungi.

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 2

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
Since the test substance did not directly reduce MTT, an additional test with freeze-killed or viable tissues was not performed.

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

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is less than 50%, or if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is less than 15%.
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater or equal than 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is greater or equal than 15%.

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent positive control

Amount/concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 50 µL

Other effects / acceptance of results:

OTHER EFFECTS
- Direct-MTT reduction: Since the test substance did not directly reduce MTT, an additional test with freeze-killed or viable tissues was not performed.
- Colour interference with MTT: The test substance did not change colour, when mixed with deionised water and thus passed the colour interference pre-test.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The mean negative control OD, both for the 3 and 60 min exposure period, was in the range of ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for every exposure time thereby confirming the acceptable quality of the tissues.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Exposure to the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control, both for the 3 min exposure period (28.8%) and for the 60 min exposure period (7.4%) thus confirming the validity of the test system and the specific batch of tissue models.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: The coefficient of variation in the range 20 – 100% viability between tissue replicates was < 30%, thus the validity of the test system and the specific batch of the tissue models is confirmed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: non-corrosive according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the conducted test, the test substance did not possess corrosive properties towards reconstructed human epidermis tissue in the EpiDerm™ model.

Executive summary:

The skin corrosion potential of the test substance was assessed by an in vitro skin corrosion test using a human skin model according to OECD Guideline 431 and in compliance with GLP (2016). After treatment of the tissues with the test substance the mean relative absorbance value did not decrease (114.8%) after 3 min exposure compared to the negative control. After 1 h exposure the relative absorbance value was reduced to 22.0%. Both values did not exceed the threshold for corrosivity and therefore the test substance is not considered to be corrosive to the skin.
