OECD TG 431 In Vitro Skin Corrosion Testing: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service
The OECD TG 431 In Vitro Skin Corrosion Testing is a widely recognized laboratory test that evaluates the corrosive potential of substances on human skin. This test is governed by various international and national standards, which ensure its validity and reliability.
ISO/TS 16953:2017
This standard provides guidelines for the testing of chemical substances on human skin using in vitro methods. It outlines the requirements for test equipment, reagents, and procedures to be followed during the testing process.
ASTM F1904-17
This standard specifies the protocol for conducting the OECD TG 431 In Vitro Skin Corrosion Testing using human skin equivalents. It includes details on the preparation of test samples, testing conditions, and data analysis.
EN ISO/TS 10993-5:2009
This standard outlines the requirements for in vitro tests to evaluate the cytotoxicity of substances on human cells. Although not specifically focused on skin corrosion, it provides valuable guidance on test procedures and data interpretation.
TSE LRS-EN ISO 10993-5:2014
This standard is based on the European Unions harmonized standards and provides additional requirements for in vitro testing of chemical substances on human cells.
Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) are among the leading SDOs responsible for developing standards related to laboratory testing, including OECD TG 431 In Vitro Skin Corrosion Testing.
