Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

The CORROSITEX Assay  is an in vitro method which can be used to estimate the dermal corrosivity potential of a test substance. In this assay, the time it takes for Cyclopropylamine to produce alterations or destruction of an artificial barrier composed of soluble collagen is used to predict corrosivity. The barrier penetration time is detected by a color change, flaking, or precipitate formation in a chemical detection system located on the opposite side of the artificial barrier.

 

The mean CORROSITEX Time for Cyclopropylamine was 3 min. 25 sec.,accorrding to which the test substance can be classified as Category 1B.
