STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: ambient, tightly closed, store away from incompatible materials (e.g. strong oxidising agents)

Test system:

human skin model

Source species:

human

Cell type:

other: normal, human epidermal keratinocytes

Cell source:

other: humans

Source strain:

other: not applicable

Details on animal used as source of test system:

not applicable

Justification for test system used:

This test uses the EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis model (MatTek) which consists of normal human-derived epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and therefore represents in vitro the target organ of the species of interest and closely resembles the biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human skin, i.e. the epidermis.

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on test system:

RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpiDermTM (EPI-200-SIT; MatTek)
- Tissue lot number: 25899

TEST FOR MTT INTERFERENCE
- to check the non-specific MTT-reducing capability of the test item 30 µl of the test item were mixed per 1 mL MTT medium and incubated for 60 min at 37 ± 1 °C in the incubator (5 % CO2, 95 % RH).
- untreated MTT medium was used as control.
- after incubation verification of the colour by the unaided eye

TEST FOR COLOUR INTERFERENCE
- to check the colouring potential of the test item 30 µl of the test item were mixed per 300 µL aqua dest. and per 300 µL isopropanol each in a transparent recipient and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 60 min (5 % CO2, 95 % RH).
- after incubation verification of the colour by the unaided eye

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37 ± 1 °C for 35 ± 1 minutes followed by incubation at room temperature until the 60 ± 1 minute treatment period was completed
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation: 37 ± 1 °C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- after the end of the treatment period the tissues were washed 15 times with DPBS.
- subsequently, the inserts were submerged three times in DPBS and shaken to remove rests of the test item.
- then inserts were rinsed once from the inside and the outside with sterile DPBS.
- inserts were placed in prepared 6-well plates containing pre-warmed fresh assay medium per well.
- plates were post-incubated at 37 ± 1 °C, 5.0% CO2, humidified to 95%, for 24 ± 2 h. Following this incubation the tissues were transferred to new wells containing fresh assay medium and incubated for additional 18 ± 2 h.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL (300 µL/well)
- Incubation time: 3 hours ± 5 minutes
- Extraction of formazan: after the MTT incubation period, the tissues were rinsed three times with DPBS and allowed to dry. The tissues were transferred into 12-well plates and immersed in 2 mL isopropanol, sealed to inhibit evaporation. Extraction was carried out protected from light at room temperature at least for 2 hours with shaking on a plate shaker.
Before using the extracts, the plate had been shaken for at least 15 minutes on a plate shaker and the inserts were pierced with an injection needle. The extract was pipetted up and down 3 times before 2 x 200 µL aliquots per each tissue were transferred into a 96-well plate. Optical density (OD) was measured with a filter band without reference wavelength in a plate spectrophotometer using isopropanol as a blank.
- Wavelength: 570 nm
- Filter bandwidth: maximum ± 30 nm

FUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATA
- Viability: tissues pass analysis for tissue viability
- Barrier function: tissues pass analysis for tissue functionality
- Morphology: presence of a functional stratum corneum, a viable basal cell layer, and intermediate spinous and granular layers.
- Contamination: absence of bacteria, yeast, and other fungi (long term antibiotic, antimycotic free culture) as well as absence of HIV1-virus, Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
The mean optical density (OD) of the three negative control tissues was calculated after blank correction. This value corresponded to 100 % tissue viability in the current test. For each individual tissue treated with the test item or the positive control, the individual relative tissue viability is calculated according to the following formula:
Relative viability (%) = [(mean ODtest item / positive control) / ODmean of negative control] * 100
For the test item and the positive control the mean relative viability ± relative standard deviation of the three individual tissues were calculated and used for classification according to the following prediction model:
Irritant potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with DPBS. The test item is considered to be irritant to skin in accordance with regulation EC 1272/2008 (UN GHS “Category 2”), if the tissue viability after exposure and post-incubation is less or equal to 50%. Further testing is required to resolve between UN GHS categories 1 and 2 and decide on the final classification of the test substance. The test substance may be considered as non-irritant to skin in accordance with regulation EC 1272/2008 and UN GHS “No Category” if the tissue viability after exposure and post-treatment incubation is more than 50%.

Prior to treatment, all EpiDerm™ tissues were gently blotted to remove moisture. The test item was applied undiluted. 30 µL (47 µL/cm²) of the test item were dispensed directly atop the EpiDerm™ tissue. The test item was gently spread to match size of the tissue using a bulb-headed Pasteur pipette.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

TEST FOR MTT INTERFERENCE
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 equalled 0%.

TEST FOR COLOUR INTERFERENCE
The mixture of 30 µL of the test item per 300 µl aqua dest. and/or per 300 µL isopropanol showed no colouring detectable by unaided eye-assessment. Therefore, NSC equalled 0%.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (value: 1.849).
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 20% (3.2 %)
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 18% (0.4 % - 6.3 %).
- The absorbance values were not below historically established boundaries.
