In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
other: human-derived epidermal keratinocytes
Source strain:
not specified
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on test system:
The EpiDermTM tissue consists of human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers representing main
lipid classes analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDermTM tissues are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts.
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Duration of treatment / exposure:
60 minutes.
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
23 hours and 25 minutes
Number of replicates:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item (R)-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol is considered as irritant to skin.
After the treatment, the mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 2.4%. This value is below the threshold for skin irritation (50%).
The optical density of the negative control was well within the required acceptability crite-rion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8.
