NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 4 (2 tissues for the 3 minute exposure period, 2 tissues for the 1 hour exposure period) + 2 tissues for the negative and the positive control for each exposure period

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 1

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (see table 1 in ''any other informatin on methods'')
A test item is considered corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test if:
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, a test item considered non-corrosive (viability ≥ 50%) after the 3-minute treatment is considered corrosive if the relative tissue viability after 1-hour treatment with the test item is decreased below 15%.

A test item is considered non corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test if:
a) The relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is not decreased below 50%.
b) In addition, the relative tissue viability after the 1-hour treatment is not decreased below 15%.

ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA:
a) The absolute mean OD570 of the two tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit ≤2.8)
b) The mean relative tissue viability following 1-hour exposure to the positive control should b e <15 %.
c) In the range 20 - 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) between tissue replicates should be ≤ 30%.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- OTHER EFFECTS:

- Direct-MTT reduction: no
- Colour interference with MTT: no

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes, the absolute mean OD570 was between the acceptance limits (i.e. 1.644 for the 3-minute exposure and 1.779 for the 1-hour exposure).
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, the mean relative tissue viability following 1 hour exposure was <15% (i.e., 8.4%).
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes, CV between tissue replicates was ≤30% (i.e., 7.2% for the 3 minute exposure period and 5.7% for the 1 hour exposure period).

- Because the mean relative tissue viability for HYDROPIP-NR was not below 50% after 3 minutes treatment and not below 15% after 1 hour treatment, the test item is considered to be not corrosive.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

Conclusions:

The results of a skin corrosion test, performed according to OECD guideline 431, showed that HYDROPIP-NR was not corrosive to the skin. The test substance is therefore not classified according to GHS and according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Executive summary:

A skin corrosion test was performed, according to OECD guideline 431, to assess the potential of HYDROPIP-NR to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model. The test item was applied at an amount of >25 mg directly on top of an EpiDerm model for a 3 -minute and a 1 -hour exposure period. For each exposure period two tissues were treated with the test item, two tissues were treated with a positive control (potassium hydroxide) and two tissues were treated with Milli-Q water as a negative control. After exposure, the tissues were incubated for 3 hours in MTT-medium and subsequently the cell viability was measured at 570 nm using a spectrophotometer. The mean cell viability for the tissues treated with test item compared to the negative control were 109 and 101% for the 3 -minute and the 1 -hour exposure period, respectively. The mean tissue viability for the positive control after 1 -hour exposure was 8.4%. All acceptability criteria were met and the study was considered to be valid. Since the mean tissue viability was >50% after the 3 -minute exposure and >15% after the 1 -hour exposure, HYDROPIP-NR is considered not corrosive to the skin. The test substance is therefore not classified according to GHS and according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
