Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The target substance is not irritating to skin with irritation score of 0.3.
Endpoint:
skin corrosion: in vitro / ex vivo
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available
Justification for type of information:
As there is an in vivo study available, the in vitro study is not needed.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Two in vivo studies were available for the target substance and both indicated non-irritant to skin and eyes (Prince, 1986, & Wnorowski 2003). The hydrolysis product isostearic acid also produced no significant skin or eye irritation in Draize rabbit irritation tests (CIR, 1983).

Based these findings, there is no need to classify the target substance as irritant to skin and eyes.
