Justification for test system used:

Corrosion of the skin is defined as an irreversible necrotic alteration of the tissue induced by a chemical. While the testing for corrosives usually involves the rabbit skin as a predictive in vivo test method, substances may be classified according to their corrosive potential by the determination of their cytotoxic effects on an in vitro reconstructed human epidermis. The test principle is based on the MTT assay reflecting the cell viability after short term exposure of the epidermal equivalent to topically applied Oxaphthalimid.

Vehicle:

physiological saline

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

the test item is not corrosive to skin

Executive summary:

The study on a reconstructed human epidermis EST-1000 was carried out for detection of topically applied skin corrosives with the test item Oxaphthalimid.

A 100% concentration was tested on the skin/epidermal equivalents in triplets. For the determination of time related cytotoxic effects the incubation periods were 3 minutes (room temperature) and 60 minutes (incubator), respectively. Using the MTT (methylthiazoletetrazolium) method the cell viability after 3 minutes or after 60 minutes of incubation was determined to be 97.26% and 95.27%, respectively. Thus, Oxaphthalimid was not characterised by a significant impact on cell viability and it therefore showed no corrosive properties.
