Test system

Details on study design:
The SkinEthic reconstructed human corneal epithelium assay uses corneal epithelial tissue to assess penetration and concomittant cytotoxicity of the test substance.

In a pre-test direct interaction of the test substance with the detection chemical MTT is assessed.
In the main study triplicate SkinEthic tissues were treated with 30 uL of the test substance during 10 minutes. In addition a negative control (Na2HPO4 0.142 g/L; glucose 1.802 g/L; HEPES 7,149 g/L; KCl 0.224 g/L; NaCl 7.597 g/L) and a positive control (2% SDS) were included. After treatment tissues (3 per treatment) were rinsed and treated with MTT. Optical density of extracted MTT solutions was measured at 562 nm. Viability was expressed as percentage MTT conversion versus negative control.
Tissue viability ≥ 60% means non-irritant
Tissue viability < 60% means irritant

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is non-irritant in the SkinEthic reconstructed human corneal epithelium assay.
Executive summary:

In this assay triplicate SkinEthic tissues were treated with 30 uL of the test substance during 10 minutes. After treatment tissues were rinsed and treated with MTT. Optical density of extracted MTT solutions was measured at 562 nm. Viability was expressed as percentage MTT conversion versus negative control. The viability was 102.1%, which is indicative for non-irritant substances.

As the assay is not formally validated, the results need to be regarded as preliminary.
