The assessment of the irritant potential to skin of Fluorosulfonic adduct was carried out, under GLP compliance, using an in vitro skin irritation test based on the guidelines described in: OECD No. 439 (adopted 28 July 2015) and EU Method B.46 (Amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 640/2012 of 06 July 2012).
Disks of reconstructed human epidermis model. EPISKINTM (SM) (three units) were treated with the test item (10 µL) and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of the undiluted test item was terminated by rinsing with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). The epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2 protected from light. The precipitated formazan crystals were then extracted using acidified isopropanol and quantified spectrophotometrically.
Following exposure with Fluorosulfoni Adduct, the mean cell viability was 94.8% compared to the negative control. This is above the threshold of 50%, therefore the test item was considered as being non-irritant to skin. The experiment met the validity criteria, therefore the study was considered to be valid. In conclusion, Fluorosulfonic Adduct is considered to be non-irritant. The substance is not classified as irritant to skin according to GHS criteria.

2. Optical density means the mean value of the duplicate wells for each sample (rounded to three decimal places).
Validity of the test
After receipt, the two indicators of the delivered kit were checked. Based on the observed colours, the epidermis units were in proper conditions.
The mean OD value of the three negative control tissues was in the recommended range (0.756). Standard deviation of the viability results for negative control samples was 4.5.
The positive control treated tissues showed 4.0% viability demonstrating the proper performance of the assay. The standard deviation of the viability results for positive control samples was 1.0.
The standard deviation of viability values of the three test item-treated tissue samples in the MTT assay was 0.3.
The mean OD value of the blank samples (acidified isopropanol) was 0.046.
All these parameters met the acceptability criteria, therefore the study was considered to be valid.

Additional information
Skin Irritation / Corrosion
The potential of the FLUORORULFONIC Adduct to be irritating to the skin was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD guideline 439 and in compliance with good laboratory practices (GLP).
The in vitro study described in the OECD guideline 439 allows to discriminates skin irritants (Cat. 2) from chemicals not classified for skin irritation (No Cat.) in member countries or regions that do not adopt the optional UN GHS Category 3 (mild irritants), like Europe.
Irritant chemicals are identified by their ability to decrease tissue viability below 50% of the negative control. According to OECD No. 439 method, a result indicating skin irritation (Cat. 2) does not allow excluding corrosion (Cat. 1) therefore in case the test showed a tissue viability below 50% of the negative control for the test chemical, an in vitro skincorrosion test would require to determine the final classification (Cat. 2 (irritant) or Cat. 1(A, B or C) (corrosive)).This was not the case for Fluorsulfonic Adduct which showed a mean tissue viability = 94.8% compared to the negative control, therefore no further test is necessary and it can be concluded that the substance does not require classification and labelling according to EU GHS Criteria.
