Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Skin Irritation -
Mean value of three test data on a 35 active solution of the substance gave a value of 7.8% mean issue viability in the EpiDerm skin test (OECD 439).
Accoridng to the test protocol, a value of <=50% predicts Irritant GHS Cat 2.
Eye Irritation -
Under the conditions of the test, the sample eliicited an average in vitro score of 30.7.
The positive control elicited an average in vitro score of 46.0.
Under the decision cirteria of this test, these values fall within the 'No prdictions can be made' category.
However, since the test sample was only 35% active and the value obtained suggested some effect, albeit not Cat 1 H318, it is likely that the undiluted substance may well have been eye corrosive and thus a precuationary classification of H319 Eye irritant Cat 2 has been applied.
