Duration of treatment / exposure:
60 minutes
Details on study design:
Each three tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm™ were treated with the test item, the negative and the positive control for 60 minutes.
Approximately 25 mg of the test item were applied to each tissue, wetted with 25 µL of DPBS, and spread to match the surface of triplicate tissue.
30 µL of either the negative control (DPBS) or the positive control (5% SLS) were applied to triplicate tissue each.
The test item and the positive and negative controls were washed off the skin tissues after 60 minutes treatment. After further incubation for about 43 hours the tissues were treated with the MTT solution for 3 hours following 69.75 hours extraction of the colorant from the cells. The amount of extracted colorant was determined photometrically at 570 nm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is not irritant to skin according to UN GHS and EU CLP regulation.
Executive summary:

This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of the test item by means of the Human Skin Model Test.

The test item passed the MTT interference pre-test. Due to its intensive colour, an additional test with one viable tissue (without MTT addition) was necessary to correct the result in the main experiment.

Approximately 25 mg of the test item were applied to each tissue, wetted with 25 µL of DPBS, and spread to match the surface of triplicate tissue.

30 µL of either the negative control (DPBS) or the positive control (5% SLS) were applied to triplicate tissue each.

The test item and the positive and negative controls were washed off the skin tissues after 60 minutes treatment. After further incubation for about 42 hours the tissues were treated with the MTT solution for 3 hours following 69 hours extraction of the colorant from the cells. The amount of extracted colorant was determined photometrically at 570 nm.

After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required acceptability criterion of mean OD³ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for the 60 minutes treatment interval thus showing the quality of the tissues.

Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 4.5% thus ensuring the validity of the test system.

The relative standard deviations between the % variabilities of the test item, the positive and negative controls in the main test were below 7% (threshold of the "OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals 439:In vitroSkin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method”: < 18%), thus ensuring the validity of the study.

Compared to the relative absorbance value of the negative control the mean relative absorbance value was reduced to 80.5% (corrected value) after exposure of the skin tissues to the test item. This value is above the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential.
