61.1

In accordance to the OECD Guideline 431 a test item is considered to be corrosive to skin

  • if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is less than 50 %. or
  • if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50 % and the viability after 1 hour exposure is less than 15 %.

Thereafter the test item “Absorbent N Grade A” was considered to be non-corrosive to skin according to OECD Guideline 431. The positive controls proveadditionally the well functioning of the skin models.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: non-corrosive
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the definition of the OECD-Guideline 431 the test item was considered to be non-corrosive.
Executive summary:

The aim of this study was the detection of a corrosion potency of „Absorbent N Grade A“ tested on a Human Skin Model.

According to the definition of skin corrosion, inserts were incubated with the specimen for 3 min and 1 h. To avoid an evaporation during incubation all inserts were covered with a tin foil. After the indicated time the inserts were rinsed thoroughly with PBS. Finally, cell viability was measured by performing a standard MTT assay.

Viability was determined to be 94.9% after 3 min and 61.1% after 1h.

According to the definition of the OECD-Guideline 431 the test item is considered to be non-corrosive.
