Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Notes from study report: "After 3 min and 1h exposure on the surface of EpiDermTM reconstructed human epidermis, the viability of the tissues was assessed and compared to a negative control.
The percentage of viability obtained was 40.3% after 3 min and 28.1% after 1h and therefore:
Potassium Iso-Alpha Resin was classified as Corrosive, optional sub-category 1B/1C to human skin."

Since tetrahydroisoalpha acids are simply hydrogenated, with two side chain C=C double bonds converted to CH-CH, then it is appropriate to read across the classification from iso-alpha acids.
