Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item 2,5-di tertiary butyl 1,4-benzoquinone is non-corrosive in the EpiSkin in vitro skin corrosion model.
Executive summary:

The test item was tested for its possible skin corrosion potential using a three-dimesional Reconstructed Human Epidermis model, EpiSkin, through topical application. After 3 min, 60 min and 240 min exposures with the test item, the observed cell viability was 153% and 106% and 95%, respectively.

The positive control had a mean cell viability of 4.44% after 240 -minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 of the negative control tissue was 0.493625, 0.61595 and 0.548225 for the 3 -minute, 60 -minutes and 240 -minutes exposures, respectively. The results of the controls indicate that the test system functioned properly.

The study indicate that the test item 2,5 -di tertiary butyl 1,4 -benzoquinone is non-corrosive in this in vitro skin corrosion test using reconstructed human epidermis under the conditions of testing employed.
