- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the skin corrosion potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” in In Vitro Skin Corrosion Test utilising the Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method (OECD TG 431).
The skin corrosion potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was examined in the in vitro skin corrosion test using the reconstructed human epidermal model EpiDermTM. Two tissue replicates were used for each treatment (exposure times 3 min and 60 minutes). Concurrent positive (8N KOH) and negative (UP H2O) controls were used to ensure the adequate performance of the experimental model.
The Optical densities (ODs) of Negative controlt reated tissues were 2,630 at three min and 2,417 at 1 hour. The viability of the tissues exposed for 1 hour to the positive control (8N KOH) was 6.5%.The Positive and Negative controls met the acceptance criteria set by the OECD TG 431.
The viability of cultures treated by “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was 93.2 % after 3 min and 65.0% after 60 min. Since the material did not reduce MTT, nor it interacted with water, and was very easily removed from the tissue surface during the washing procedure, no additional steps were necessary to correct the result obtained on viable tissues in the main experiment
The Test Item is classified as non-corrosive on the basis of the 1-hour time-point.

- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the skin irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” in In Vitro Skin Irritation Test utilising the Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method (OECD TG 439).
The skin irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was examined in the in vitro skin irritation test using the reconstructed human epidermal model EpiDermTM. Three tissue replicates were used for each treatment (exposure time 60 minutes, postexposure time 42 hours).

- Indication of controls used for direct MTT-reducers and/or colouring test chemicals (if applicable)
The test item may interfere with the MTT endpoint if it is coloured and/or able to directly reduce MTT and at the same time is present in the tissues when the MTT viability test is performed. Some non-coloured test items may change into coloured material in wet or aqueous conditions and thus stain tissues during the 60 min exposure.
To identify these possible interferences, a functional check was performed. The 50mg of a test item was added into 0.3 mL of purified water as well as isopropanol. The mixture was incubated in a glass test tube in the incubator at 37±1°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5±1% CO2 in air for 60 min. At the end of the exposure time, the presence of the staining was evaluated. To evaluate direct interference of the test item with the MTT, 50 mg of the test item was added to 1 mL of the MTT medium and incubated in the incubator (37±1°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5±1% CO2 in air) for 60 min. MTT medium was used as visual control.
- Description of the method used to quantify MTT formazan
After the completion of the post-exposure period, tissue were blot and moved into the 24-well plate prefilled with 300 µL of the MTT-media (c = 1mg/mL). Tissues were incubated with MTT for 3 hours ± 5 min at a humidified incubator (37±1ºC, 5±1% CO2 and 90±10% RH). After the MTT incubation, the blue formazan salt formed by cellular mitochondria was extracted from the tissue with 2 mL/tissue of isopropanol. Extraction was performed overnight at room temperature. Plates were sealed with parafilm to prevent evaporation of isopropanol. On the following day, 200 μL of each extraction solution was transferred to a 96-well plate, and the optical density of extracted formazan was determined using a spectrophotometer at 570 nm. Isopropanol was used as blank.
-The assay was considered valid if the following criteria were met:
Negative Control (NC):
The absolute optical density (OD) of negative control tissues (treated with sterile DI H2O) in the MTT-test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained under specific conditions of the assay. Tissue viability is meeting the acceptance criterion if the mean OD of the NC tissues is ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8.
Positive Control (PC):
The assay meets the acceptance criterion if the mean viability of tissues treated with PC (Methyl acetate) and expressed as % of the negative control tissues is ≤ 50%.
Standard Deviation (SD or Diff):
Per OECD TG 492, Difference of viability between two tissue replicates should be less than 20% or the Standard deviation (SD) between three tissue replicates should not exceed 18%. - Irritation parameter:

- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- Based on the experimental data conducted according to the OECD TG 492 and strictly adhering to the prediction model of the guideline, it can be concluded that no prediction of eye irritating effect can be made for the test item “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation”.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the eye irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” in In Vitro Eye Irritation Test utilising the Reconstructed Human Cornea-like Epithelial (RhCE) model (OECD TG 492).
The eye irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was examined in the in vitro eye irritation test using the reconstructed human epidermal model EpiOcularTM. Two tissue replicates were used for each treatment (exposure time 6 hours, postexposure time 18 hours). Concurrent positive (Methyl acetate) and negative (DI H2O) controls were used to ensure the adequate performance of the experimental model.
The Optical density (OD) of Negative control treated tissues was2.011 and the viability of the tissues exposed for 6 hours to the positive control was 33.8% (see Table 6 and Appendix 3). The Positive and Negative controls met the acceptance criteria set by the OECD TG 492.
The viability of cultures treated by “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was 2.9 % with a Diff of 0.3 %. Since the material did not reduce MTT, nor it interacted with water, and was very easily removed from the tissue surface during the washing procedure, no additional steps were necessary to correct the result obtained on viable tissues in the main experiment.
On the basis of the prediction model given by the OECD TG 492, for the test item “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” no prediction could be made, and the test material requires further testing and clarification its eye irritating or corrosive effects.

The Optical densities (ODs) of Negative controlt reated tissueswere 2,630 at three min and 2,417 at 1 hour. The viability of the tissues exposed for 1 hour to the positive control (8N KOH) was 6.5%.The Positive and Negative controls met the acceptance criteria set by the OECD TG 431.
The viability of cultures treated by “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was 93.2 % after 3 min and 65.0% after 60 min. Since the material did not reduce MTT, nor it interacted with water, and was very easily removed from the tissue surface during the washing procedure, no additional steps were necessary to correct the result obtained on viable tissues in the main experiment
The Test Item is classified as non-corrosive on the basis of the 1-hour time-point.
Skin Irritation (OECD 439)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the skin irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” in In Vitro Skin Irritation Test utilising the Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method (OECD TG 439).
The skin irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was examined in the in vitro skin irritation test using the reconstructed human epidermal model EpiDermTM. Three tissue replicates were used for each treatment (exposure time 60 minutes, postexposure time 42 hours). Concurrent positive (5% SDS) and negative (DPBS) controls were used to ensure the adequate performance of the experimental model.
The Optical density (OD) of Negative control treated tissues was 2,010 and the viability of the tissues exposed for 1 hour to the positive control (5% SDS) was 5.8%. The Positive and Negative controls met the acceptance criteria set by the OECD TG 439.
The viability of cultures treated by “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was 55,2% with a SD of 8,8 and CV of 16%. Since the material did not reduce MTT, nor it interacted with water, and was very easily removed from the tissue surface during the washing procedure, no additional steps were necessary to correct the result obtained on viable tissues in the main experiment.
On the basis of the prediction model given by the OECD TG 439, the test item “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” does not require classification concerning the skin irritation effects. However, since the result obtained in the current study is close to the classification border (50% tissue viability), a second confirmatory run is recommended.
Eye Irritation (OECD 492)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the eye irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” in In Vitro Eye Irritation Test utilising the Reconstructed Human Cornea-like Epithelial (RhCE) model (OECD TG 492).
The eye irritation potential of “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was examined in the in vitro eye irritation test using the reconstructed human epidermal model EpiOcularTM. Two tissue replicates were used for each treatment (exposure time 6 hours, postexposure time 18 hours). Concurrent positive (Methyl acetate) and negative (DI H2O) controls were used to ensure the adequate performance of the experimental model.
The Optical density (OD) of Negative control treated tissues was2.011 and the viability of the tissues exposed for 6 hours to the positive control was 33.8% (see Table 6 and Appendix 3). The Positive and Negative controls met the acceptance criteria set by the OECD TG 492.
The viability of cultures treated by “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” was 2.9 % with a Diff of 0.3 %. Since the material did not reduce MTT, nor it interacted with water, and was very easily removed from the tissue surface during the washing procedure, no additional steps were necessary to correct the result obtained on viable tissues in the main experiment.
On the basis of the prediction model given by the OECD TG 492, for the test item “Zinc chlorohydroxy sulphate and copper sulphide, precipitation” no prediction could be made, and the test material requires further testing and clarification its eye irritating or corrosive effects.
Taken into account the worst case scenario based on the available in vitro data it is concluded that the substance need to be classified as irritation to skin and damaging to the eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the in vitro study results and application of the worst case scenario, sulphide precipitate has to be classified as Skin Irrit. 2 H315 and Eye Dam. 1 H318 according to CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
