Source species:
other: not specified
Cell type:
other: synthetic macromolecular bio-barrier
Cell source:
other: not specified
Source strain:
not specified
Details on animal used as source of test system:
not applicable
Justification for test system used:
Corrositex TM is a validated and accepted in vitro method to assess if a test item can produce skin corrosion and to distinguish between GHS corrosivity categories 1A, 1B, and 1C.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
SOURCE AND COMPOSITION OF MEMBRANE BARRIER USED
- Was the Corrositex® test kit used: yes
- Components:qualify test tubes

WAS THE COMPATIBILITY TEST PERFORMED: yes
This step ensures that the sample is compatible with the CORROSITEX™ system. 150 µL of the test substance are added to the Qualify test tube. The vial was shaken to allow dissolution of the test substance and let stand for one minute. If the colour or consistency of the CDS changes at the sample/testing fluid interface, the test material is qualified for the assay. If no reaction is observed within five minutes, the sample is not qualified for the CORROSITEX™ Assay.

WAS THE TIMESCALE CATEGORY TEST PERFORMED
The categorisation step could not be performed, since the substance was incompatible with the Corrositex assay, as assessed in the qualification step.

TEMPERATURE USED DURING TREATMENT: room temperature

METHOD OF DETECTION
- Chemical or electrochemical detection system: chemical detection system

METHOD OF APPLICATION (CLASSIFICATION TEST):
The classification step could not be performed, since the substance was incompatible with the Corrositex assay, as assessed in the qualification step.


TEST ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
The test meets acceptance criteria if:
- Test item qualifies in qualification test
- Positive control activates CDS > 3 - 60 min.
- Negative control activates CDS not before 60 min.

The exact breakthrough time of the positive control should be determined to demonstrate that the response is in the acceptable historical range of breakthrough times for the positive control (mean ± 2-3 standard deviations).
Control samples:
not required
Amount/concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL (Qualification Step)
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): approx. 150 µL of the test item
Duration of treatment / exposure:
5 minutes (Qualification Step)
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
not applicable
Number of replicates:
not applicable
