Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Violuric was found to reduce the cell viabilty more than 50% in the present test system and must thus be considered as an irritant. However, the present test system cannot distinguish between category 1 and 2 classification.
Executive summary:

Violuric acid has been tested for skin irritation according to OECD with the ' SkinEthicTMReconstructed Human Epidermis kit RHE/S/17'.

The irritation potential was assessed indirectly by assessing the uptake of MTT in living cells, which results in conversion to MTT in a blue dye, which can be measured spectophotometrically and by visual assessment of the tissue after 42 min exposure to the test substance followed by 42 h post treatment period. Viability of cells exposed to violuric acid was 1% compared to control cells and thus indicates irritaion potential of the test substance.

According to the test system violuric acid should be classified as irritant, but the test system cannot distinguish between category 1 and 2 classification.

In conclusion, violuric acid was found to be irritaing in the present test system.
