Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to OECD 439:2015, under the test conditions applied, the test substance is considered NON IRRITANT
Executive summary:

The test was carried out using reconstructed human epidermis (RHE), in triplicate. The exposure of the insert to the test substance was carried out for 42 in at room temperature.

After treatment the inserts were rinsed with D-PBS and post-incubated with growth medium for additional 42 hours at 37 +/- 1°C, 5 +/-% CO2. Finally, inserts were incubated with MTT solution in oredr to evaluate cell viability which is a direct measure of the irritant potential of the substance. Because of the MTT - reducing interference produced by the test substance, additional testing were performed to evaluate the correct irrititant potential. Under these conditions, the test substance Benzyl Glycol CAS 622 -08 -2 assay >99% resulted NON IRRITANT
