Any other information on results incl. tables

The photometric absorbance of the negative controls is considered as 100 %. For each replicate of test item and positive control, formazan production is calculated as % photometric absorbance compared with the mean of the negative controls:

% Formazan production = [OD mean of negative controls/ODreplicate test item resp. positive control]*100%

where OD is the Optical Density

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information According to the CLP Regulation Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
112.2 % of the relative absorbance
Executive summary:

Method

The substance has been tested in order to evaluate the skin irritation potential according to the EU method B.46 and OECD 439.

During the test three tissues of the human skin model EpiDermTM has been treated with on average 25 mg of test item for 60 minutes. Both positive and negative control have been prepared.

Observations

After the treatment with the test item, the relative absorbance values were increased, compared to the negative control, to 112.2 %.

The Optical Density (OD) of the negative control (1.9) was well within the required acceptability criterion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8. The positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 2.8 % (required: ≤ 20 %). For these reasons the validity criteria of the test system has been fulfilled.

Conclusion

The 112.2 % value of the relative absorbance is above the threshold for irritation potential set out in the OECD guideline, therefore the substance is considered as not irritant in the Human Skin Model Test.
