Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Rosin acid derivative was found to be non-irritating in a GLP-compliant, OECD Guideline 439 study.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of rosin acid derivative was assessed in a GLP-compliant, OECD 439. The test substance was applied to EpiDerm Reconstructed Human Epidermic (RhE) tissue unchanged for a 1 hour exposure. DPBS was used as a negative control and 5% SDS was used as positive control. The tissues were washed with DPBS and analyzed with an MTT assay. The percent tissue viability of the two lots were 96% and 101%. Based on the OECD Guideline 439 prediction model, rosin acid derivative is not irritating to the skin.
