NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TESTING RUNS / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION:
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if [complete, e.g. if the mean TER value is less than or equal to 5 kΩ and the skin disk is obviously damaged, or if the mean TER value is less than or equal to 5 kΩ, and the skin disc is showing no obvious damage, but the mean disc dye content is greater than or equal to the mean disc dye content of the 10M HCl positive control obtained concurrently.]
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if [complete, e.g. if the mean TER value obtained for the test substance is greater than 5 kΩ, or if the mean TER value is less than or equal to 5 kΩ, and the skin disc is showing no obvious damage, and the mean disc dye content is well below the mean disc dye content of the 10M HCl positive control obtained concurrently.]
- Justification for the selection of the cut-off point(s) if different than recommended in TG 430:

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent no treatment

yes, concurrent vehicle

Other effects / acceptance of results:

Test validation:
The positive control shows a viability percentage of 2,3% ( lower than 40%) and all criteria are fulfilled, this validates the test.
The negative control shows a viability percentage of 100%

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item shows a viability percentage of 100,7% (mean value of the 3 experiments) and therefore is considered as non irritant.
