Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

In this study under the given conditions the test item showed corrosive effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was reduced below 15% after 60 min treatment but not below 50% after 3 min treatment. Sodium Octane-1-sulphonate is therefore classified as “corrosive“ in accordance with UN GHS sub-category 1B.

Executive summary:

OECD 431 (2017) - The skin corrosivity potential of sodium octane-1-sulphonate was assessed using an EpiDerm Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Model Kit in accordance with OECD guidance 431 and GLP.

Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3 and 60 mins. At the end of the exposure period the test item was rinsed from each tissue before being loaded with MTT. After MTT loading each tissue was placed in 2 mL isopropanol for MTT extraction. After extraction, each tissue was pierced and the extraction solution aliquoted for absorbance measurements. Absorbency at 570 nm of each well was measured using a spectrophotometer.

Mean viability of tissues exposed to the test substance after 3 and 60 minutes were 87.9 % and 4.2 %, respectively. The quality criteria required for acceptance of the results was met.

Under the conditions of this study the test substance is considered to be corrosive to the skin in accordance with a combination of optional UN GHS sub-categories 1B and 1C; however for the purposes of conservative classification the substances is designated as corrosive: sub-category 1B.
