JaCVAM Statement on theIn Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method
At a meeting held on 11 May 2017 at the National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) inTokyo, Japan, the Japanese Center for the Validation of Alternative Methods (JaCVAM)
Regulatory Acceptance Board unanimously endorsed the following statement: Proposal: Although a positive result in an in vitro skin corrosion test using human skinmodels such as EpiSkinTM, EpiDermTM, SkinEthicTM, or epiCS® is generally
considered sufficient for predicting a test chemical to cause skin corrosion underUN GHS Category 1, only skin corrosion tests using EpiSkin are consideredsufficient for predicting a test chemical to cause skin corrosion under the UN GHS
subcategories. Furthermore, thorough consideration must be given to theapplicability domain when using this test.
This statement was prepared following a review of the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) Test Guideline (TG) 431 In Vitro Skin Corrosion:
Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method together with other materials preparedby the Skin Corrosion Testing JaCVAM Editorial Committee to acknowledge that the resultsof a review and study by the JaCVAM Regulatory Acceptance Board have confirmed theusefulness of this assay.
Based on the above, we propose the In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed HumanEpidermis (RHE) Test Method as a useful means for assessing skin corrosion potential duringsafety assessments by regulatory agencies.
