Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Justification for type of information:
β-Alanine, N-(2-carboxyethyl)-, N-coco alkyl derivs., disodium salts has been used in this end point as a read-across substance for Sodium N-(2-carboxyethyl)-N-dodecyl-β-alaninate . A comparison of the two substances and a read-across justification can be found in section 13 of this dataset

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
EC 290-476-8
IUPAC Name:
EC 290-476-8
Test material form:
solid: compact
Details on test material:
As the substnace is normally supplied in water as 30 - 40 % solution, material was dried specifically for testing.

Test animals

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
In vitro study

Test system

Details on study design:
The principle of the assay is based on the measurement of cytotoxicity in reconstructed
human epidermal cultures following topical exposure to the test item by means of the
colourimetric MTT reduction assay. Cell viability is measured by enzymatic reduction of
the yellow MTT tetrazolium salt (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium
bromide) to a blue formazan salt (within the mitochondria of viable cells) in the test item
treated tissues relative to the negative controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 112.6% after a 15-Minute exposure period and is not considered to be irritant to skin accordign to GHS criteria
Executive summary:

In view of the reported results being below thresholds for classification as irritant, it is considered unlikely that the diluted material manufactured and supplied (30 - 40% in water) will be irritating to skin.

It is not considered necessary to perform in-vivo testing on this substance in its concentrated form.
