Description of key information

In a GLP-compliant OECD 435 Guideline study, the test substance was determined to be corrosive to skin and classified as Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria and, given this result along with a known pH >11.5, the substance is presumed to also cause serious eye damage (Category 1) based on GHS criteria.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
500 uL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Not applicable.
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
Not applicable.
Number of replicates:
4
Irritation / corrosion parameter:
penetration time (in minutes)
Run / experiment:
Mean
Value:
32.18
Vehicle controls validity:
not applicable
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks on result:
other: Standard Deviation
Remarks:
+/- 0.17
Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant OECD 435 Guideline study, the mean time for the test substance to penetrate the biobarrier was 32.18 minutes (+/- 0.17) and was therefore determined to be corrosive to skin and classified as Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria.
