Description of key information
In two in vitro reconstructed human epidermis (EpiSkin) assays, conducted in accordance with OECD Test Guidelines 431 and 439 (for assessing skin corrosion and irritation, respectively) and to GLP, diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate was considered to be neither corrosive nor irritating to skin (Kiss, 2012a,b).
In an OECD Test Guideline 405 study, to GLP, diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate (0.1 g) caused some conjunctival effects in the eyes of three male rabbits within 1 hr of instillation, but these effects were fully reversible within 1 week (Kiss, 2012c).
No relevant respiratory tract irritation data were identified.

- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test is designed to predict and classify the skin irritant potential of chemicals according to chemical safety regulations, using the reconstructed human epidermis model EPISKIN-SM and parameters related to skin irritation.
EPISKIN-SM is a three-dimensional human skin model comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. Its use for skin irritation testing involves topical application of test materials to the surface of the epidermis, and the subsequent assessment of their effects on cell viability. Cell viability determination is based on cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by MTT reduction and conversion into a blue formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The reduction of cell viability in treated tissues is compared to negative controls and expressed as a %. The % reduction in viability is used to predict the irritation potential.
The EPISKIN-SM has been found scientifically valid for reliably predicting no label and R38 (irritant) substances in respect to the previous EU classification scheme and has been confirmed in April 2009 by ESAC for use under the UN GHS system as "applicable to all authorities". It is approved by international regulatory agencies as a replacement for the identifcation of irritants/corrosives in the in vivo rabbit skin assay (OECD 404). - GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Species:
- human
- Strain:
- other: Reconstructed human epidermis model (see details below)
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- EPISKIN-SM (Source: SkinEthic, France, Batch No.:11-EKIN-047, Expiry date: 26 December 2011) is a three-dimensional human epidermis model. Adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes are seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen. A highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model is obtained after 13-day culture period comprising the main basal, supra basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum.
- Type of coverage:
- other: Applied evenly to the epidermal surface following the application of 10 ul distilled water to this surface
- Preparation of test site:
- other: in vitro cell culture
- Vehicle:
- water
- Remarks:
- distilled
- Controls:
- other: negative control skin unit tested in triplicate
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 20 mg to each of three test skin units.
10 µl PBS (phosphate buffered saline) was added to each of the three negative control skin units and 10 µl SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate, 5% aqueous solution) was added to each of the three positive control skin units.
For additional control for staining effects of the test item, 10 µl distilled water was applied to the epidermal surface of a single skin unit to ensure good contact with the epidermis, then 20 mg of the test item was applied evenly to the epidermal surface. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Exposure for 15 minutes (± 0.5 min) at room temperature (20-37°C).
Then incubated with fresh “maintenance medium” for 42 hours (± 1h) at 37°C. - Observation period:
- Not applicable to this test system
- Number of animals:
- Not applicable to this test system
- Details on study design:
- EPISKIN-SM assay plate contained reconstructed epidermis units (area: 0.38 cm2); each was attached to the base of a tissue culture vessel and maintained on nutritive agar.
After test substance exposure and subsequent incubation, preparations for cell viability determination were: incubation with MTT solution (at 37 degrees C for 3 hours) followed by incubation with acidified isopropanol for formazan extraction (around two hours at room temperature with gentle agitation).
For cell viability measurements, the OD (Absorbance / Optical Density) of the samples in a spectrophotometer was read at 540 nm using acidified isopropanol solution blank (6×200 µL). (The validity of the microplate reader was verified with a standard verification plate daily before use. The standard plate was calibrated yearly by the manufacturer.)
For each treated tissue, OD (as adjusted for colouring potential of the test substance) was calculated and the tissue viability was expressed as a % relative to negative control.
Criteria for classification as irritant/non-irritant: If the resulting mean relative viability (as adjusted for intrinsic colour) is less than or equal to 50% of the negative control, the test substance is considered to be irritant to skin. - Irritation / corrosion parameter:

- Executive summary:
Diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate was tested for skin irritation potential in an in vitro reconstructed human epidermis model (EpiSkin assay) conducted in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 439, and to GLP.
EpiSkin is a three-dimensional human skin model comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. Its use for skin irritation testing involves topical application of test materials to the surface of the epidermis, and the subsequent assessment of their effects on cell viability. Cell viability determination is based on cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by MTT reduction and conversion into a blue formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The reduction of cell viability in treated tissues is compared to negative controls and expressed as a %. If the resulting mean relative viability (as adjusted for intrinsic colour) is less than or equal to 50% of the negative control, the test substance is considered to be irritant to skin.
Following a 15-minute exposure to the test substance, the test system skin cell viability was calculated to be greater than 50% (the average was 68% and the range was 60 -76%), and it was therefore considered to be non-irritating to skin.
Under the conditions of this assay, diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate does not require classification for skin irritation according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).

Additional information
No relevant human irritation/corrosion data were identified.
Diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate was tested for skin corrosion and irritation potential in two EpiSkin (in vitro reconstructed human epidermis model) assays conducted in accordance with OECD Test Guidelines 431 and 439, respectively, and to GLP. EpiSkin is a three-dimensional human skin model comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. Its use for skin irritation testing involves topical application of test materials to the surface of the epidermis, and the subsequent assessment of their effects on cell viability, as determined by cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity. The reduction of cell viability in treated tissues is compared to negative controls and expressed as a %. In the test for skin corrosion, following a 4-hour exposure to the test substance, the test system skin cell viability was calculated to be greater than 35% (the average was 72% and the range was 69 -75%), and it was therefore considered to be non-corrosive to skin. In the skin irritation test, following a 15-minute exposure to the test substance, the test system skin cell viability was calculated to be greater than 50% (the average was 68% and the range was 60-76%), and it was therefore considered to be non-irritating to skin (Kiss, 2012a,b).
In an in vitro eye irritation study in isolated chicken eyes, conducted in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 438, diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate appeared to be not severely irritating/corrosive and does not require a classification as a severe eye irritant. However, this test substance remained adhered to the corneal surface after the post-treatment rinse (Kiss, 2012d). As such, an in vivo study is required to determine classification (see below).
In an in vivo eye irritation study carried out in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 405, and to GLP, 0.1 g of powdered diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits. Following instillation the eyelids were held closed for several seconds; no rinsing was performed.The other eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes.The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours, as well as 1 week after treatment, and scored according to the Draize system. Mild conjunctival effects (including redness, chemosis and discharge) occurred within one hour of application. These were either reduced or absent at 24 hours and were fully reversible within 1 week (Kiss, 2012c).
No respiratory tract irritation data were identified. A new study was not conducted as it is not a REACH Standard Information Requirement.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the available (in vitro) skin corrosion and irritation studies and the (in vivo and in vitro) eye irritation studies, diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N)rhodate does not require classification for skin or eye irritation according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
