Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance is not considered to be corrosive.
Executive summary:

An in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of the substance by means of the Human Skin Model Test with EpiDerm™ tissues models. Exposure to the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control, both for the 3 minutes exposure period (21.4%) and for the 1 hour exposure period 4.8%) thus confirming the validity of the test system and the specific batch of tissue models. After 3 minutes exposure to the substance the relative absorbance value was not reduced (107.1%). After 1 hour exposure the relative absorbance value decreased to 92.3%. Both values did not exceed the threshold for corrosivity which is defined to be 50% after the 3 minutes exposure and 15% after the 1 hour exposure. Therefore, the substance is not considered to be corrosive.
