Executive summary:

The test item was tested in an in vitro skin irritation test on reconstructed human epidermis (EST-1000) according to EU method B.46 (Skin Irritation). The EST-1000 model provides a functional stratum corneum with an underlying layer of living cells. The test item was applied undiluted for 20 min followed by a 42 hour incubation time. Cell viability was determined by the MTT method. The test item was characterised by a significant impact on cell viability in this in vitro skin irritation study. Cell viability was reduced to ca. 17 % compared to negative control cultures (100%). Thus, the test item should be regarded as skin irritant according to UN GHS category 2.
