TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: Ambient temperature to minimize test article evaporation.
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 37 C
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Number of washing steps: Three times with an excess of PBS
- Observable damage in the tissue due to washing: None reported
DYE BINDING METHOD
- Dye used in the dye-binding assay: MTT
- Wavelength: 570 nm
NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TESTING RUNS / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 2 independent runs with tissues exposed in triplicate to the test article and controls.
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA:
The in vitro irritation potential of the test substance was determined from the relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the negative control tissues, using the following prediction model:
- Mean tissue viability less than or equal to 50%: Irritant (GHS Category 2)
- Mean tissue viability greater than 50%: Non-irritant (Not Classified)

TEST ARTICLE EXPOSURE:
-The EpiDerm in vitro skin model was exposed to 30 uL of the test article, negative (PBS) or positive (5% aqueous SDS) control substance. Immediately after application, a nylon mesh was placed on the skin model surface to facilitate an equal distribution of these study substances. The complete 60-min exposure of all test groups was at ambient temperature, instead of 25 min at ambient temperature and 35 at 37 C as stated in OECD 439, to minimize evaporation of the test article. At the end of the exposure period, the skin models were removed from the well, carefully washed using an excess of PBS and blotted dry. The skin models were transferred to a clean 6-well plate containing fresh medium (900 uL/well) and incubated in a humidified incubator. Medium was refreshed after 24 hours. Following an additional 18 hour incubation period, viability was determined using the MTT assay.

Skin models were transferred to a 24-well plate containing 300 uL of 1 mg/mL MTT solution per well. After 180 min incubation in a humidified incubator at 37 C, the skin models were rinsed three times with an excess of PBS. The formazan product was extracted from the skin model using 2 mL MTT extractant. Extraction was performed at 2-10 C for 3 days. Following extraction, the optical density was measured in triplicate in 200 uL subfractions using a spectrophotometer set at 570 nm. MTT extractant was used as a blank. The mean optical density was calculated and expressed as a percentage viability compared to the negative control (mean tissue viability).

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, the test article did not present evidence of dermal irritation potential and is classified as a non-irritant.

Executive summary:

The dermal irritation potential of the test article was determined using EpiDerm reconstructed skin membranes. The study was conducted in compliance with OECD GLP regulations. The test method was based on OECD Guideline 439 (2013). Two in vitro skin irritation tests were performed. In both tests, skin membranes were topically exposed to the undiluted test substance for 60 minutes. In the second test, the skin membranes were covered with a glass slide immediately after application to prevent evaporation of the test substance. In both tests, viability of the epidermal cells was assessed using the MTT test after 42 hours of culture. Negative and positive controls were run in parallel. In both tests, all acceptance criteria were met and therefore the study was considered valid. The mean viability of the test article-exposed EpiDerm tissues was 98 +/- 5% and 97 +/- 5% compared to the negative control group, in the first and second test, respectively. Based on the results of the study, the test article did not present evidence of dermal irritation potential and is classified as a non-irritant.
