Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: non corrosive, i.e. the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified as Skin Corr. 1A/B/C, according to the CLP Regulation
Conclusions:
Non corrosive.
Executive summary:

Method

Corrosion characteristics of test item were evaluated according to the guideline OECD 431 (April 13, 2004), on reconstitued epidermis 3D (EpiDerm™), through MTT test cytotoxicity analysis.

The test item was applied on each epidermis unit in duplicate for 3 minutes and 1 hour at 37°C, 5% CO2. At the end of the exposure, the test item was removed, and cell viability evaluated through MTT test.

Observations

The percentage of mean cell viability for treated cells resulted to be:

- after 3 minutes: 105.1 %

- after 60 minutes: 122.5 %

Results

Non corrosive, i.e. the substance does not meet the criteria to be classified as Skin Corr. 1A/B/C, according to the CLP Regulation
