An in vitro test kit and an in vitro test method which determine dermal corrosion properties of a test substance and/or mixture are disclosed. The test substance is applied directly to a biobarrier designed to give corrosion times comparable to those of the in vivo dermal corrosion test. A corrosive test substance destroys and passes through the biobarrier, after which the test substance enters and reacts with the adjacent chemical detection system, where the test substance is detected. The detection time, or the time from application to detection, can be correlated with UN Packing Groups and EEC classes. |
