Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The Relative mean tissue viability calculated as a percentage of the negative control was 86.9% after the 60 minutes exposure and 78.5% after the 3 minutes exposure. The test item did not meet the criteria for classification as corrosive to the skin according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
Executive summary:

The in vitro skin corrosion of the test substance was determined in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 431. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the corrosivity potential of the test item using the EpiDerm™ Reconstituted Human Epidermis after treatment periods of 3 and 60 minutes. Corrosion is directly related to cytotoxicity in the EpiDerm™ tissue. Cytotoxicity is determined by the reduction of MTT to formazan by viable cells in the test item treated tissues relative to the corresponding negative control. The results are used to make a prediction of the corrosivity potential of the test item.

Prior to the testing, the test substance was checked for interference with water and/or MTT. No interference was identified.

Triplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3 and 60 minutes. A MTT assay was performed in order to measure the test viability following the exposure to the test substance. The optical density was measured at 570 nm to determine the concentration of formazan produced by the viable cells from the reduction of MTT. Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).

The Relative mean tissue viability calculated as a percentage of the negative control was 86.9% after the 60 minutes exposure and 78.5% after the 3 minutes exposure. The test item did not meet the criteria for classification as corrosive to the skin according to Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
