Materials and methods

Test guideline

Test guideline 1

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 430 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER))

Deviations:

no

Test guideline 2

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

EU Method B.40 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test (TER))

Deviations:

no

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The skin corrosivity potential of the test substance was assessed using the Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Assay (TER). This involved the application of the test substance to the epidermal surface of skin discs, obtained from a humanely-killed young Wistar strain rat.

GLP compliance:

no

Remarks:

The study was conducted in a facility operating to Good Laboratory Practice within the UK national GLP monitoring programme, but the study report has not been audited by the QA unit. No formal claim of GLP compliance is made for this study.

In vitro test system

Test system:

isolated skin discs

Remarks:

epidermal surface of skin discs, obtained from a humanely killed young Wistar strain rat

Source species:

rat

Vehicle:

not specified

Details on test system:

TEST SITE: The integrity of each pelt was confirmed using a Quality Control test. Only acceptable pelts were used to supply skin discs for use in the main study.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, removed using a jet of warm tap water
- Time after start of exposure: after 24 hour exposure


SCORING SYSTEM:
- Corrosive substances produce an irreversible loss of normal stratum corneum integrity and function; this is measured as a reduction in the inherent TER. A threshold value has been established (5 kΩ), below which materials are considered likely to be corrosive in vivo. The TER was measured using a low voltage alternating current electronic databridge.

Control samples:

no

Amount/concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL: no data

VEHICLE: no data

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 hours

Number of replicates:

3 skin discs

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results

Irritation / corrosion parameter:

transcutaneous electrical resistance (in kΩ)

Run / experiment:

1

Value:

5.27

Vehicle controls validity:

valid

Negative controls validity:

valid

Positive controls validity:

valid

Remarks on result:

other: Basis: mean; time point: 24 hours; standard deviation = 0.3.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- The mean electrical resistance (kΩ) was 5.27 +/- 0.3. Following visual inspection, each skin disc was found to have a pale (bleached) appearance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Although the mean electrical resistance was above the cut-off value of 5 kΩ, after visual inspection of the skin discs, the test material was considered to have the potential to be corrosive in-vivo under the conditions of the test.
