Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Tetrahydrobenzaldehyde was characterised by a significant impact on cell viability after 3 min. or after the 60 min. period.

Thus, it should be labelled as corrosive to skin.
Executive summary:

A study for predicting non-specific, corrosive potentials of compounds by using reconstructed human skin (RHS) was performed. The experiment was carried out on a reconstructed human epidermis EST-1000 (CellSystems, St. Katharinen, Germany) for detection of topically applied skin corrosives with the test item dibutyl hydrogen phosphate.


 


Corrosive skin effects of substances are defined as irreversible damage of skin; namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis, following the application of a test substance for up to four hours. In vivo corrosive reactions are typified by ulcers, bleeding, and bloody scabs.


 


A 100% concentration was tested on the skin/epidermal equivalents in triplets. For the determination of time related cytotoxic effects the incubation periods were 3 min. and 60 min., respectively. By this the study, was conducted in accordance with the OECD 431 guideline using the test item concentrations and incubation periods recommended there. These tests are also related to the revised OECD 404 guideline "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion".


 


The test item was applied at a 100% concentration, i.e. 50µl per insert.


 


The MTT (Methylthiazoletetrazolium) method has determined the following values of viability after 3 min. or after 60 min. of incubation: 44% and 5% (rounded), respectively.


Thus, the results show that a corrosive property of the test item was determined by the assay used.
