- TEST METHOD
The bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test is an in-vitro test method used for identifying i) chemicals inducing serious eye damage and ii) chemicals not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage. The potential of a test substance to cause ocular corrosivity or severe irritancy is measured by its ability to induce opacity and increased permeability in an isolated bovine cornea. The opacity and permeability assessments of the cornea are combined to derive an in-vitro irritancy score (IVIS), which is used to classify the irritancy level of the test substance.

Additional information
Skin irritation/corrosion
A reliable key skin irritation /corrosion study with Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is available, conducted according to OECD test guideline 404 (skin irritation in vivo), and in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Key, 2011, OECD 404). Three female New Zealand White rabbits were semiocclusively applied 0.5 g of the test item dissolved in water on the dorsal area of the trunk (approx. 6 cm²) for 4 h. At the end of the exposure duration, residues of the test item were removed with tap water. The animals were observed for skin reactions according to the Draize Scoring System 1, 24, 48 and 72 h following end of exposure. There were no local effects noted in any of the animals at any of the reading time points. The body weight development of the animals was as expected and none of the animals showed any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the study period. Thus, the test item is concluded to be not irritating to the rabbits’ skin under the conditions of this test.
A supporting skin irritation/corrosion study with Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is available, conducted in principle according to OECD test guideline 404 (skin irritation in vivo), but not in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Supporting, 2006, OECD 404). Three rabbits of unknown strain were applied 0.5 g of the unchanged test item for 4 h. No information is given on the type of coverage in the study report. 4 h after start of exposure, residues of the test item were removed. The animals showed no skin irritation when observed 24, 48, and 72 h after treatment. Body weight development of all test animals was as expected and there were no clinical signs of toxicity noted in any of the animals throughout the study period. Thus, the test item is concluded to be not irritating to the rabbits’ skin under the conditions of this test.
Eye irritation
Eye irritation of Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate was investigated in an in-vitro bovine corneal opacity and permeability test, conducted according to OECD 437, and in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Key, 2014, OECD 437). The bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) test is an in-vitro test method used for identifying chemicals inducing serious eye damage and chemicals not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage. The potential of a test substance to cause ocular corrosivity or severe irritancy is measured by its ability to induce opacity and increased permeability in an isolated bovine cornea. The opacity and permeability assessments of the cornea are combined to derive an in-vitro irritancy score (IVIS), which is used to classify the irritancy level of the test substance. In the present study, mean in-vitro irritancy scores calculated were 1.30, 280.15 and 172.12 for the negative control, the test item, and the positive control, respectively. The in-vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid. The negative control responses resulted in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control. Thus, the test item is concluded to be corrosive to the bovine eye in the in-vitro bovine corneal opacity and permeability test. Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate meet therefore the criteria to be classified for inducing serious damage to eyes (Eye dam. 1).
Respiratory irritation
A reliable key acute inhalation toxicity study with Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is available, conducted according to OECD test guideline 403, and in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Key, 2014, AIT). Deaths observed in this study are contributed to local corrosive effects to the respiratory tract, indicated by observations such as irregular breathing, rales, nasal discharge, ocular discharge, gasping, etc., as well as gross necropsy findings (red lungs), which are observations commonly seen in animals suffering from local irritating/corrosive effects to the respiratory tract. Together with the facts that Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dehydrate is corrosive to eyes (mucous membranes) and the pH in aqueous solution is 0.4, the substance is concluded to be irritating to the respiratory tract. For further details please refer to the acute toxicity section.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data are reliable and suitable for classification. Based on these data, Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate meets the criteria to be classified for irreversible effects on the eye (Cat 1, H318) according to EC/1272/2008. Furthermore, based on expert judgement a labelling as STOT SE Cat 3 (H335 - May cause respiratory irritation) is warranted (for further details please refer to the acute toxicity section).
