Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the criteria of acceptance, under the experimental conditions of the study 'In-Vitro Skin Corrosion Study by Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER) of 2-Phenylsuccinic Acid it is concluded that the test item 2-Phenylsuccinic Acid is considered as non-corrosive to rat skin as per the United Nations(UN) Globally Harmonised System (GHS) for classification of chemicals.
Executive summary:

In-Vitro Skin Corrosion Study by Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER) of 2-Phenylsuccinic Acid was carried out in compliance with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 4, No. 430 - In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER), adopted by the council on 26 July 2013.

The mean TER value obtained for test item 2-Phenylsuccinic Acid was 12.87 K Ω (which was greater than 5 k Ω) and the skin discs showed no obvious damage (e.g. perforation). The mean disc dye content was 55.14 μg/disc, which was lesser than the mean disc dye content of the 10M HCl positive control obtained concurrently.

According to the criteria of acceptance, under the experimental conditions of the study 'In-Vitro Skin Corrosion Study by Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER) of 2-Phenylsuccinic Acid it is concluded that the test item 2-Phenylsuccinic Acid is considered as non-corrosive to rat skin as per the United Nations(UN) Globally Harmonised System (GHS) for classification of chemicals.
