NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 1 experiment

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if [complete, e.g. the viability after 3 minutes exposure is less than 50% (H314 1A), or if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50 % and the viability after 1 hour exposure is less than 15% (H314 1B or 1C)
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is greater than or equal to 15% (not classified as corrosive)

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent positive control

yes, concurrent MTT non-specific colour control

other: MTT reduction controls and killed color correction

Amount/concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL

Other effects / acceptance of results:

The results were in agreement with the quality criteria:

Negative Control
The absolute OD562 of the negative control treated tissues in the MTT-test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained in the testing laboratory after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. The mean OD562 of the two negative control tissues should be ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for each exposure time, which ensures that the tissue viability meets the acceptance criteria.
Positive Control
Potassium Hydroxide 8.0N solution is used as a positive control. An assay meets the acceptance criterion if mean relative tissue viability of the 60 minute positive control is < 15%.
Coefficient of Variation
In the range 20 and 100% viability, the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates should be ≤ 30%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The substance is considered non-corrosive

Executive summary:

The substance was tested in the EpiDerm™ Human Skin Model using duplicate tissues during 3 and 60 minutes. Additional controls were included to account for direct MTT interference and color interference. The relative mean viability of the test substance treated tissues was 102.6 % for the 3 minutes exposure and 96.3% for the 60 minutes exposure. Therefore it can be concluded that the substance is not corrosive to the skin.
