Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the in vitro study the test is classified as non-corrosive according to the OECD guideline 431.
Executive summary:

Two tissues of the human skin model EpiDermTM were treated with the test substance for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. Demineralised water was used as negative control and 8 M KOH was used as positive control.

After treatment with the negative control, the absorbance values were within the required acceptability criterion. The positive control showed clear corrosive effects for both treatment intervals.

After 3 minutes treatment with the test substance, the mean value of relative tissue viability was increased to 101.5%. This value is above the threshold for corrosion potential (50%). After 1 hour treatment, the mean value of relative tissue viability was increased to 105.1%. This value, too, is above the threshold for corrosion potential (15%).
