Details on test system:
Test system consisted of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis.

It consists of organised basal, spinous and granular layers and a multi-layered stratum corneum analogous to patterns found in vivo.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item showed no irritant effects.
Executive summary:

In this GLP guideline study conducted according to OECD test method 439 and EC method B.46 using the EpiDerm Standard Model (EPI-200) utilizing a reconstituted three-dimensional human epidermis, the test item showed no irritant effects. The relative mean tissue viability after 60 min of exposure and 42 h post-incubation was 97.4% and, thus, the test item can be classified as “non-irritant” in accordance with UN GHS.
