Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

4,4’-isopropylidenediphenol, reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, mono, di and triesters with acrylic acid was evaluated for skin corrosion. The substance did not meet the criteria for classification as corrosive to the skin.

Executive summary:

A GLP-compliant in-vitro skin corrosion study was carried out on 4,4’-isopropylidenediphenol, reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, mono, di and triesters with acrylic acid using the EpiDermTM Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) tissue model. The study was performed following OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test). The aim of the test was establish whether 4,4’-isopropylidenediphenol, reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, mono, di and triesters with acrylic acid has or does not have a corrosive effect on skin, and to what extent. This was done for the purposes of providing a rational basis for a risk assessment.

A single topical application of 25mg of neat test item and 50µl of each reference item were applied to the surface of the EpiDermTM skin models using push-pin applicators. This was left for 3 and 60 minutes under the following conditions: 37°C, 5% CO2, ≥95% Relative Humidity. Three tissues were used per condition.

The results were that the mean tissue viability of the reconstructed human epidermis remained above 50% at 3 minutes (111.30%) and 15% at 60 minutes (95.24%). The substance did not meet the criteria for classification as corrosive to the skin in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008.
