Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the reported study, mean tissue viability (as a percentage of the negative control) was 22.6 % after a 60-minute exposure and 82.7 % after a 3-minute exposure. N,N’-bis(carboxymethyl)glycine, compound with 2-aminoethanol (1:3) does not meet the criteria for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Executive summary:

A GLP-compliant study was performed to determine the skin corrosion potential of N,N’-bis(carboxymethyl)glycine, compound with 2-aminoethanol (1:3) in line with OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method). N,N’-bis(carboxymethyl)glycine, compound with 2-aminoethanol (1:3) was applied as a ~8 mm disc (50 mg) to reconstructed human epidermal tissue (Epiderm™) prior to wetting with 15 µl of water. Negative controls of tissue grade sterile water and positive controls of potassium hydroxide were prepared and applied at 50 µl. Exposure was permitted for a 3- and 60-minute period at 37 °C, 5 % CO2, 95 % RH. Corrosion is directly related to cytotoxicity in the EpiDerm™ tissue. Cytotoxicity is determined by the reduction of MTT (3-[4,5dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) to formazan by viable cells in the test item treated tissues relative to the corresponding negative control. The results are then used to make a prediction of the corrosivity potential of the test item. All controls were valid and demonstrated the reliability of the test system. Mean tissue viability (as a percentage of the negative control), was 82.7 and 22.6 % after 3 and 60 minutes of exposure, respectively. Therefore, N,N’-bis(carboxymethyl)glycine, compound with 2-aminoethanol (1:3) does not meet the criteria for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
