Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Executive summary:

The test item was assessed for its corrosivity potential using the CORROSITEX assay. The method was designed to be compatible with the following: OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 435 “In VitroMembrane Barrier Test Method for Skin Corrosion” (adopted 19 July 2006).

The assay consisted of:

a qualification screen with the Chemical Detection System

a categorisation screen to identify test items as having either a high or low acid/alkaline reserve

a definitive CORROSITEX assay

Results:

Sample qualified:  YES / Sample category:  1

Mean Breakthrough time  :   6 minutes 50 seconds

Conclusion: The test item was considered to be CORROSIVE and can be assigned the UN Packing Group Criteria II.
