Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The substance was tested for skin irritation in the EpiDermTM model according to OECD 439. 30 uL of the substance, positive control (5% SDS) and negative control (PBS) was applied to the tissue for 60 minutes (25 minutes at room temperature and 35 minutes at 37°C, 5% CO2) and thereafter incubated for 42 hour post-dose at 37°C, 5% CO2. The substance did not interfere by colour or by direct MTT reduction. Tissue viability was 106.9% of negative controls, while validity criteria were evaluated to be met. The substance is concluded to be non-irritant.

The substance was tested for eye irritation in the EpiOcular TM  Eye Irritation model according to OECD 492. 50 uL of the substance, positive control (methyl acetate) and negative control (H2O) was applied to the tissue for 30 minutes, followed by a 12 minutes post-treatment immersion at 37°C, 5% CO2 and thereafter incubated for 2 hour post-dose at 37°C, 5% CO2. 

The substance did not interfere by colour or by direct MTT reduction. Tissue viability was 100.1% of negative controls, while validity criteria were met. The substance is concluded to be non-irritant.
