Description of key information
In order to test the irritant/corrosive properties for skin and eyes of cC6O4 ammonium salt an in vitro skin irritation study and an in vitro eye irritation study (BCOP) were performed on cC6O4 ammonium salt, in compliance with test guidelines and GLP conditions.
In the human EPISKIN model, the relative absorbance value was slightly
below the cut-off value, therefore the substance is considered a
potential skin irritant.
Severe effects were observed in the BCOP assay.

- CELL CULTURE FOR IN VITRO TEST:
EPISKIN kits are purchased from Skinethic Laboratories (06000 Nice, France).
The EPISKIN tissue consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo. The EPISKIN tissues (surface 0.38 cm²) are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts.
EPISKIN tissues were shipped at ambient temperature on medium-supplemented agarose gels in a 12-well plate and reached Harlan CCR on April 08, 2009. On day of receipt EPISKIN tissues were transferred to 12-well plates with maintenance medium.

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The relative absorbance in % of negative control is used for quantifying the potential skin irritating effect of the tested substances. After treatment with the test item cC6O4 the relative absorbance values were decreased to 49.2%. This value is slightly below the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- As a conclusion for this in-vitro study it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item cC6O4 ammonium salt is irritant to skin. The in-vivo prediction would be an EU classification as Xi; R38, and a CLP classification as H315, Skin. irrit. 2.
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of cC6O4 ammonium salt by means of the Human Skin Model Test.
Three tissues of the human skin model EPISKIN were treated with either the test item, the negative or the positive control for 15 minutes. 15 mg of the test item were applied to each tissue and wetted with 15 μL deionised water. 15 μL of either the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (5% Sodium lauryl sulfate) were applied to each tissue. After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well above the required acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.6 for the 15 minutes treatment interval thus showing the quality of the tissues.
Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 3.0% thus ensuring the validity of the test system. After treatment with the test item cC6O4 ammonium salt the relative absorbance values were decreased to 49.2%. This value is slightly below the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is considered to possess an irritant potential.
Note: For the current test, an irritation potential of a test item according to EU CLP classification, skin irrit. 2, H315 is predicted if the mean relative tissue viability of three individual tissues is reduced below 50% of the negative control.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro score of the negative control:
In vitro Score = opacity value + (15 x OD490 value)
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro score of the positive control and the test item:
In vitro Score = (opacity value – opacity valuenegative control + (15 x corrected OD490 value)
The in vitro score was calculated for each individual treatment and positive control cornea.
The mean in vitro score value of each treated group was calculated from the individual in vitro score values.
In vitro score Proposed in vitro irritation scale
0-3 non eye irritant
3.1-25 mild eye irritant
25.1-55 moderate eye irritant
55.1-80 severe eye irritant
>80.1 very severe eye irritant
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: This test is designed to measure the opacity of the cornea by quantifying the ability of light of pass through it. The permeability, as a result of the irritation potential of the test item, is determined using Na-fluorescein solution. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Value:
- 183.46
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- other: very severe irritant
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The mean "in vitro irritation score" was 183.46, thus much above the score of 80.1, which represents the minimum score for the data interpretation "very severe irritating".
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item cC6O4 ammonium salt is considered to be a very severe eye irritant. As the observed effects caused by the test item exceeded by far the effects caused by the positive control substance, a worst case classification is suggested, i.e. CLP classification H318, eye damage 1.
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of cC6O4 ammonium salt by means of the BCOP assay using fresh bovine corneas.
After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneae (t0), about 100 mg of the test item cC6O4 ammonium salt, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to corneas and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in complete medium. After the incubation phase the test item, the positive, and the negative controls were each rinsed from the corneas and opacity was measured again (t240). After the opacity measurements permeability of the corneas was determined while application of 1 mL of a fluorescein solution for 90 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in a horizontal position. The coming out liquid was measured spectrophotometrically.
With the negative control (0.9% NaCl solution) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneas could be observed. The in vitro score was calculated as 2.15. The positive control (10% (v/v) Benzalconium chloride) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneas and therefore, is classified as very severe eye irritant. The in vitro score was calculated as 105.73. The test item cC6O4 ammonium salt caused opacity and permeability of the corneas compared with the results of the negative control. The calculated in vitro score was 183.46 and therefore, the test item was classified as very servere eye irritant.
As the observed effects caused by the test item exceeded by far the effects caused by the positive control substance, a worst case classification is suggested, i.e. CLP classification H318, eye damage 1.

Additional information
In order to test the irritant/corrosive properties for skin and eyes of cC6O4 ammonium salt an in vitro skin irritation study and an in vitro eye irritation study (BCOP) were performed on cC6O4 ammonium salt. The studies were guidelines conform and performed under GLP conditions.
In the skin irritation study three tissues of the human skin model EPISKIN were treated with either the test item cC6O4 ammonium salt, the negative or the positive control for 15 minutes. After treatment with cC6O4 ammonium salt the relative absorbance values were decreased to 49.2%. This value is slightly below the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50% and therefore the test item was considered to possess an irritant potential.
In the eye irritation study, performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of cC6O4 ammonium salt using fresh bovine corneas, the test item caused opacity and permeability of the corneas compared with the results of the negative control and therefore cC6O4 ammonium salt was considered to be a very severe eye irritant.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
