- Executive summary:
The study was performed to OECD TG 431 under GLP to assess the corrosive potential of the test material when applied to human reconstructed skin - EpiDermTM. Duplicate tissues were treated with the negative control, positive control and the test item for exposure periods of 3 minutes and 60 minutes. Cytotoxicity was assessed by the reduction of MTT to formazan by viable cells in the test item related tissues relative to the negative control with the optical density measured at 570 nm.
Results indicate that the test item did not reduce MTT with the percentage viability for cells treated with the test item was 95.5% and 8.1% after 3 and 60 minutes respectively. Under the conditions of the study the test item was considered to be corrosive to the skin and a classified in Category 1 according to the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.

Additional information
Skin Corrosion
Assessment for skin corrosion was condcucted uner OECD TG 431: In vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human EpiDermis (RHE) Test Method. Duplicate tissues were treated with the negative control, positive control and the test item for exposure periods of 3 minutes and 60 minutes. Cytotoxicity was assessed by the reduction of MTT to formazan by viable cells in the test item related tissues relative to the negative control with the optical density measured at 570 nm.
Results indicate that the test item did not reduce MTT with the percentage viability for cells treated with the test item was 95.5% and 8.1% after 3 and 60 minutes respectively. Under the conditions of the study the test item was considered to be corrosive to the skin and a classified in Category 1 according to the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
Eye Irritation/corrosion
Testing was waived based on the results of the Skin Corrosion study.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin corrosive potential of the substance was established as Category 1 (Warren, 2021). Based on the conditions of this test, the test item meets the criteria for classification as Skin Corrosive Category 1 in accordance with CLP REgulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
