Other effects / acceptance of results:
The mean OD562 for the negative control treated tissues was 1.720 for the 3-Minute exposure period and 1.541 for the 60-Minute exposure period. The negative control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 6.1% relative to the negative control following the 60-Minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.In the range 20 to 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between the two tissue replicates of each treatment group did not exceed 30%. The acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item was considered to be corrosive to the skin.EU CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and UN GHS Hazard statement H314 “Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” Category 1B or 1C.UN Packing Group II or III “Substance Presenting Minor or Medium Danger”.
Executive summary:

The Mephtamin-HCL, on the basis of EPIDERM Skin Corrosion Test, is considered to be corrosive to the skin (Category 1)
