human

Cell type:

non-transformed keratinocytes

other: MatTek EpiDerm Reconstructed Human Epidermis

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDerm Skin Model
- Tissue batch number(s): EPI-200, Lot no.: 27636 Kit L and Kit M
- Other: The Skin models tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) were cultured on polycarbonate membranes of 10 mm cell culture inserts.

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: Test item incubation of 3 minutes at room temperature, or 1 hour at 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36.2 - 37.3°C).
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable): 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36.2 - 37.3°C).

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Number of washing steps: After the exposure period, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (Invitrogen Corporation, Breda, The Netherlands) to remove residual test item. The skin inserts were carefully dried. Rinsed tissues were kept in 24 well plates on 300 µl DMEM until 6 tissues (= one application time) were dosed and rinsed.
- Observable damage in the tissue due to washing: no

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: MTT concentrate (5 mg/ml) diluted (1:5) with MTT diluent (supplemented DMEM). since the test item reacted with the MTT medium, two freeze-killed tissues were treated with test item and two freeze-killed non treated tissues were used per exposure time for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT. Since the %NSMTT ≤ 0.0, there is no need to correct for interference of the test item.
- Spectrophotometer: TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 2

DECISION CRITERIA
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, a test item considered non-corrosive (viability equal to or above 50%) after the 3-minute treatment is considered corrosive if the relative tissue viability after 1-hour treatment with the test item is decreased below 15%.
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is not decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, the relative tissue viability after the 1-hour treatment is not decreased below 15%.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULT
The in vitro skin corrosion test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The absolute mean OD570 of the two tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range.
b) The mean relative tissue viability following 1-hour exposure to the positive control should be <15 %.
c) In the range 20 - 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) between tissue replicates should be < 30%.
d) The %NSC should be < 30% relative to the negative control OD.
e) The non-specific MTT reduction should be < 30% relative to the negative control OD.

- Colour interference with MTT: Yes

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: The test was performed by a GLP laboratory that routinely performes these tests.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The absolute mean OD570 of the two tissues of the negative control was within the laboratory historical control data range.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The mean relative tissue viability following 1-hour exposure to the positive control was 13% which is below the acceptable percentage of maximum 15%.
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: In the range 20 - 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) between tissue replicates was <8% which is below the acceptable percentage of maximum 30%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not corrosive

Remarks:

based on CLP criteria (Annex I of 1272/2008/EC)

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, Ylang Ylang I showed a relative mean tissue viability above 100% after the 3-minute and 1-hour treatment. Ylang Ylang I is therefore considered to be not corrosive and therefore does not need to be classified in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Executive summary:

The skin corrosion potential of Ylang Ylang 1 was tested according to OECDTG431. A human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm) was exposed topically to 50 μL undiluted Ylang Ylang 1, Milli-Q (negative control), or Potassium hydroxide (positive control) for 3 minutes or 1 hour. Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. Both the negative and the positive control were considered valid. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with Ylang Ylang I compared to the negative control tissues was 109% and 110% respectively. Ylang Ylang I is therefore considered to be not corrosive and therefore does not need to be classified in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
