Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 10 ± 2 mg

VEHICLE
- Amount applied: none

Duration of treatment / exposure:

15 ± 0.5 minutes

Observation period:

42 hours

Number of animals:

None; in vitro study

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 0.38 cm2

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): each tissue was rinsed with 25 ml sterile Dulbeccos Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) to remove residual test substance.
- Time after start of exposure: 15 ± 0.5 minutes

CONTROLS
The negative control was sterile Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) with magnesium and calcium.
The positive control was 5% (w/v) Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) in distilled water.

SCORING SYSTEM: If the mean tissue viability was equal to or less than 50% of the negative control value, the sample was classed as Irritant R38 (EU classification) or Category 2 (GHS classification).
