Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin based on a reliable in vitro skin corrosion study.
Executive summary:

In a reliable in vitro skin corrosion study, conducted according to the OECD Guideline 431, 'In Vitro Skin Corrosion: reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) test method', the undiluted substance (0.1777g) was applied onto reconstructed human skin tissue (epidermal model, EpiDermTM tissue (0.63cm2)) in duplicate for a period of 3 or 60 minutes.

 

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the substance compared to the negative control tissues was 88.2% and 52.7%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for the substance was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment the substance is considered to be not corrosive.

 

In conclusion, the substance is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this study.
