Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

The skin irritation potential of the test substance was evaluated based upon measuring the relative conversion of MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) in the test substance-treated tissues after exposure to the test article for a 60-minute exposure period, followed by a 42-hour post-exposure expression period in accordance with OECD guideline 439(In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method). Skin irritation potential of the test substance was predicted if the relative viability was less than or equal to 50%. The test article was not observed to directly reduce MTT in the absence of viable cells. The mean viability of the test substance was 105.1% and the test substance is predicted to be a non-irritant.

 

The potential ocular irritancy of the test substance, as measured by changes in opacity and permeability (to fluorescein) in isolated bovine corneas was examined in accordance with OECD guideline 437. Bovine corneas were incubated in the presence of the test substance at 32 ± 1ºC for 4 hours. The test substance was determined to have an in vitro score of 1.6, indicating it is not an eye irritant.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on in vitro tests performed in accordance with OECD guidelines 439 and 437, the test substance is unlikely to be irritating to the skin or eyes, respectively. Therefore, the substance does not need to be classified for skin or eye irritation according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
