Remarks on result:
other:
Remarks:
Remarks: irritant. (migrated information)

Any other information on results incl. tables

Optical density (no data about units): 2.43 in negative control, 0.21 in positive control and 0.21 after treatment with the test substance.

Cell viability: 100% in negative control, 8.8 in positive control and 8.6 after treatment with the test substance.

Viability <50% after 1 h exposure corresponds to irritant properties.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Skin irritant properties have been shown in In vitro skin irritation examined by HUMAN SKIN MODEL TEST according to the method B.46 ANNEX III (Regulation REACH 1907/2006). However, no discrimination between corrosive and irritant properties is possible with this test system.
