Specific details on test material used for the study:
TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
The test item was applied undiluted. 30 µL of the test item were dispensed directly atop the EpiDerm tissue

In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Justification for test system used:
This test uses the EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis model (MatTek) which consists of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and therefore represents in vitro the target organ of the species of interest and closely mimics the biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human, i.e. the epidermis.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis model (MatTek)
- Tissue batch number(s): 28623

EpiDerm Kit:
The EpiDerm™ tissues were provided as kits (e.g. EPI-200-SIT, MatTek), consisting of the following components relevant for this study:
- 1x sealed 24-well plate containing e.g. 24 reconstructed epidermis units (area: 0.63 cm²); each reconstructed epidermis is attached to a cell culture insert and maintained on nutritive agar for transport (Lot No.: 28623)
- 2x 24-well plates
- 8x 6-well plates
- 1x bottle of assay medium (DMEM-based medium, Lot No.: 060718MSB)
- 1x bottle of DPBS Rinse Solution (Lot No.: 051518ISA)
- 1x 1 vial 5% SDS Solution (TC-SDS-5%)
- 25 pieces Nylon Mesh circles (8 mm diameter, 200 μm pore)

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 +/- 1 °C for the first 35 +/- 1 min, afterwards the plates were placed under the sterile flow until 60 +/- 1 min incubation time of the first dosed tissue was over.
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 37 +/- 1 °C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Volume and number of washing steps: the tissues were washed by filling and emptying the inserts 15 times with DPBS using a constant stream in about 1.5 cm distance from the tissue surface, staggered again in e.g. one-minute intervals. Subsequently, the inserts were completely submerged three times in 150 mL DPBS and shaken to remove rests of the test item. Finally, the inserts were rinsed once from the inside and the outside with sterile DPBS. Excess DPBS was removed by blotting the bottom with blotting paper.

Results of the Pre-Experiments:

The mixture of 30 µL test item per 1 mL MTT medium showed no reduction of MTT compared to the solvent. The mixture did not turn blue/purple. Therefore, NSMTT was determined to be 0%.

The mixture of 30 µL of the test item per 300 μL isopropanol showed colouring detectable by unaided eye-assessment. Therefore, the absorption of the chemical in isopropanol was measured in the range of 570 ± 30 nm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: The test item is identified as requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS (“Category 2” or “Category 1”).
Conclusions:
In conclusion, in this in vitro skin irritation study (OECD 439), Jasmine absolute is considered to be irritant to the skin (UN GHS category 1 or 2).
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study conducted according to OECD guideline 439, the EpiDerm™-Model (EPI-200-SIT) was topically exposed to Jasmine absolute (100% purity) for 60 min and 42 h post incubation period. Irritant potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained compared to the corresponding negative control tissues concurrently treated with DPBS. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was ≤ 50% (40.4%) after 60 min treatment and 42 h post-incubation. Based on this result, Jasmine absolute is considered to be irritating to the skin in accordance with UN GHS "Category 1 or 2" .
