- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: <20% of negative control : 3.7%
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: <18% : negative control 2.8% ; positive control 0.2% ; test item 6.7%

Therefore, the experiment is considered valid.

the outcome of the proficiency chemical testing is stated. All 10 profi- ciency chemicals were correctly classified.

The demonstration of proficiency was performed under non-GLP conditions but within the GLP-environment at LAUS GmbH.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item Methyl 2-[(2-methylundecylidene)amino]benzoate is considered non-irritant to skin in the Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method.
Executive summary:

Findings and Results:

 

Two experiments were performed.

The first experiment was not valid, because the standard deviation of the three replicates of the negative control was 74.8%, required is ≤18 % and the OD of the negative control was not within the range (<0.8). This experiment is not reported, but the raw data are kept in the GLP archive of the test facility.

The second experiment was valid and the results are reported here.

 

Three tissues of the human skin model EpiDermTM were treated with the test item for 60minutes.

The test item was applied directly to each tissue and spread to match the tissue size (0.63 cm2; as indicated by thesupplier).

DPBS-buffer was used as negative control and 5% SDS solution was used as positive con- trol.

After treatment with the negative control, the mean absorbance value was within the required acceptability criterion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8, OD was 1.4.

The positive control showed clear irritating effects. The mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 3.7% (required: <20%).

The variation within the tissue replicates of negative control, positive control and test item was acceptable (required: ≤ 18%).

 

After the treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was 111.5%. This value is well above the threshold for skin irritation potential (50%). Test items that induce values above the threshold of 50% are considered non-irritant to skin.

 

Therefore,

the test item Methyl 2-[(2-methylundecylidene)amino]benzoate is considered non-irritant to skin in the Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method.
