FRD-903 was evaluated for skin corrosion potential using the In Vitro International Corrositex® assay. The results of the assay were used to determine the United Nations and Department of Transportation corrosive packing group. Corrositex® is a standardized and quantitative in vitro corrosivity test. The model is based on the time required for the test substance to pass through a biobarrier membrane and produce a change in a chemical detection system.

An aliquot of 500 μL of FRD-903 was applied to each of 4 membrane discs. The test substance passed through all 4 of the membranes. The mean breakthrough time for all 4 vials was 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 13 seconds.

Under the conditions of this test, FRD-903 is corrosive and is assigned to Packing Group III (minor danger).
