Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST SKIN MODEL
- Source: SkinEthic (Batch No. 14 RHE 0407)
- Adaptions to cell culture conditions: Upon receipt, the tissues were transferred into 24-well plates containing 300 µL maintenance medium per well.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS (Incubator)
- Temperature (°C): 37 ± 2
- CO2 gas concentration (%): 5%
- Humidity: maximum

Test system

Type of coverage:

open

Preparation of test site:

other: intact reconstructed human epidermis

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: concurrent negative control tissue treated with phosphate buffered saline

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 16 µL

To ensure a good contact with the epidermis, during all the treatment period, the test item was recovered with a nylon mesh provided by SkinEthic.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

42 min exposure
41.5 h post-incubation

Observation period:

Not applicable

Number of animals:

Not applicable. Tests were performed in triplicates.

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
-Area of exposure: 0.5 cm²

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: After the incubation period, the inserts were washed with PBS (25 x 1 mL).
- Time after start of exposure: 42 min

CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS
- Method: MTT assay
- Details on method used: For viability testing, the skin samples were placed in 300 µL MTT solution (1 mg/mL) for 3 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Afterwards, the precipitated blue formazan product was extracted in isopropanol for 2 h under agitation in the dark, and the concentration of formazan was measured by determining the Optical Density (OD) at 570 nm, just after dilution of the extractions in isopropanol (1:2). The absorbance was measured in triplicates of MTT extract in ELx800 absorbance microplate reader supplied by Biotek and the validated software Gen5 ELISA V1.05.11 supplied by BioTek.

PRE-EXPERIMENTS
- To evaluate non-specific MTT-reducing capability of the test item, 16 µL of the test item were mixed with 300 µL MTT solution (1 mg/mL) similar to the procedure performed in the main test. No blue or purple colouration of the MTT solution was determined.

EVALUATION CRITERIA
The irritancy potential of the test item was evaluated based on relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with PBS. The substance is considered to be irritant to skin if the tissue viability after 42 min of exposure and 42 h of post-incubation is less or equal to 50%. The test substance is considered as non-irritant to skin if the tissue viability after exposure and post-treatment incubation is higher than 50%.
