Any other information on results incl. tables

Corrosive potential of the test materials is predicted from the mean relative tissue viabilities obtained after 3 min treatment compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with highly de-ionized water. A chemical is considered as "corrosive", if the mean relative tissue viability after 3 min treatment with a test material is decreased below 50%. In addition, those materials with a viability of ≥ 50% after 3 min treatment are considered as "corrosive" if the mean relative tissue viability after 1 hour treatment with a test material is decreased below 15%.

Although the method is not finally validated for categorizing the severity of corrosivity according to certain classification and labeling systems, it is suggested to use the most stringent category for test substances leading to viabilities below 50% after 3 min treatment. Irritant potential of the test materials is predicted from the mean relative tissue viabilities compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with sterile PBS. A chemical is considered as "irritant", if the mean relative tissue viability with a test material is less than or equal to 50%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the observed results and applying the evaluation criteria it was concluded, that N-Methyldiisopropanolamin shows a corrosive potential in the EpiDerm™ skin corrosion/irritation test under the test conditions chosen.
Executive summary:

Corrosion test:

The mean viability of the test-substance treated tissues determined after an exposure period of 3 minutes was 74%, and it was 11% after an exposure period of 1 hour.

Irritation test:

The mean viability of the test-substance treated tissues determined after an exposure period of 1 hour with about 42 hours post-incubation was 6%.
