Quality Criteria
The mean OD562 for the negative control treated tissues was 1.656 for the 3 Minute exposure period and 1.596 for the 60 Minute exposure period. The negative control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 5.4% relative to the negative control following the 60 Minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
In the range 20 to 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between the two tissue replicates of each treatment group did not exceed 30%. The acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The relative mean viabilities for each treatment group were as follows:

 Exposure Period  Percentage Viability       
   Negative Control  Positive Control  Test Item
 3 minute  100*  5.5  127.4
 60 minute 100*   5.4  123.3

*The mean viability of the negative control tissues is set at 100%

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was considered to be non-corrosive to the skin.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the corrosivity potential of the test item using the EpiDerm™ Human Skin Model after treatment periods of 3 and 60 minutes.

Corrosion is directly related to cytotoxicity in the EpiDerm™ tissue.  Cytotoxicity is determined by the reduction of MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) to formazan by viable cells in the test item treated tissues relative to the corresponding negative control.  The results are used to make a prediction of the corrosivity potential of the test item.

Methods

Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3 and 60 minutes.  Negative and positive control groups were treated for each exposure period.  At the end of the exposure period the test item was rinsed from each tissue before each tissue was taken for MTT loading.  After MTT loading each tissue was placed in 2 mL Isopropanol for MTT extraction.

At the end of the formazan extraction period each well was mixed thoroughly and triplicate 200 L samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labeled 96 well plate.  The optical density (OD) was measured at 562 nm (OD562).

Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).

Results

The relative mean viabilities for each treatment group were as follows:

 Exposure Period  Percentage Viability       
   Negative Control  Positive Control  Test Item
 3 minute  100*  5.5  127.4
 60 minute 100*   5.4  123.3

*The mean viability of the negative control tissues is set at 100%

Quality criteria:  

The quality criteria required for acceptance of results in the test were satisfied.

Conclusion

The test item was considered to be non-corrosive to the skin.
