Rinsing was achieved by gently filling and emptying several times each tissue with D PBS to gently remove any residual test or control items.- Observable damage in the tissue due to washing: No damage- Modifications to validated SOP: No modificationsMTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE- MTT concentration: 0.3 mg/mL- Incubation time: 3 hours (±5 minutes) - Spectrophotometer: plate reader- Wavelength: 570 nm- Filter: no filter was used- Filter bandwidth: no filter was used- Linear OD range of spectrophotometer: not specifiedFUNCTIONAL MODEL CONDITIONS WITH REFERENCE TO HISTORICAL DATAhistorical data were not mentioned in the reportNUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: triplicates per condition were used CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE- water-killed tissues- Procedure used to prepare the killed tissues (if applicable): untreated EpiskinTM tissues were placed in a 12 well plate containing 2 mL of water for injections per well. The 12-well plate was placed in an incubator (set at +37°C, 5% CO2) for 48 hours (± 1 hour). At the end of the incubation period, the tissues were dried before being placed in a freezer (-20°C) for at least one night. Once killed, the tissues were stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. Before using, the water-killed tissues were thawed at room temperature (for at least 1 hour ± 5 minutes in 2 mL of maintenance medium).- N. of replicates : triplicates were used- Method of calculation used:-Non-Specific MTT reduction (NSMTT) calculation:-cOD Untreated Killed tissues = ODUK - mean ODblank,-cOD Test Item-treated Killed tissues = ODTIK - mean ODblank.NSMTT = [(mean cODTIK - mean cODUK) / mean cODNC] x 100True MTT metabolic conversion (TODTI):- TODTI = [mean cODTI - (mean cODTIK - mean cODUK)].Then, the relative mean viability is calculated as follows:Relative mean viability = (TODTI / mean cODNC) x 100NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: Two independent sequences : pretest and main test QUANTIFICATION OF IL-1 AlphaThe concentration of the IL-1α in the culture medium retained following the 42-hour recovery period was determined only for test items found with a mean relative viability > 50% after the MTT reduction. For these test items, culture media samples retained from the three negative controls and the three test item-treated tissues were analyzed by ELISA according to our internal procedures. The assay for the determination of IL-1α concentration in EpiskinTM culture medium is an ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) in which anti-IL-1α antibodies are coated in wells of a 96 wells plate. The IL 1α present in the tested samples bind to the immobilised anti-IL-1α antibodies and are revealed using a peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-IL-1α antibody.Enzymatic reaction is performed by using a substrate which is transformed into a colored product, which intensity is measured in OD value using a spectrophotometer. The analyte concentration concentrations can be then determined by interpolation from a calibration curve in which OD values are plotted against IL 1α concentrations of calibration standards. PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)- The test substance is considered to be irritant to skin if the viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours post exposure period is less than or equal to 50% or higher than 50M associated with a Il-1 alpha higher than 60 pg/mL- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours post exposure period is greater than 50%.

- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental condition of the study, the test item did not induced decrease of tissue viability (94%) and no IL1-alpha release in medium (under 5pg/mL) when applied on EpiskinTM. Hence, , the test item, E507469, is considered to be non-irritant to skin.According to the results of this study, the classification of the test item should be: No Category (UN GHS and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test item, E507469, using the EpiskinTM reconstructed human epidermis model.
The study design was based upon the international guideline OECD No. 439. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice.
Preliminary tests were performed to detect the ability of the test item to directly reduce MTT as well as its colouring potential. Following the preliminary tests, the skin irritation potential of the test item was tested in the main test. The test item and both the negative and positive controls were applied topically on triplicate tissues and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. At the end of the treatment period, each tissue was rinsed with D-PBS and incubated for 42 hours at +37°C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. The cell viability was then assessed by means of the colourimetric MTT reduction assay. Relative viability values were calculated for each tissue and expressed as a percentage of the mean viability of the negative control tissues which was set at 100% (as reference viability).
In addition, the concentration of the inflammatory mediator IL-1α was evaluated in the culture medium retained following the 42-hour recovery period. This quantification, based on an ELISA assay, was performed since the mean relative viability of the test item-treated tissues was > 50% following the MTT reduction assay.
In the preliminary tests, the test item was found to have direct MTT reducing properties but no colouring properties. All acceptance criteria for the negative and positive controls were fulfilled. The study was therefore considered to be valid.
Following a 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours of recovery period, the relative mean viability of the tissues treated with the test item was 94%.
As the mean relative viability > 50% after the MTT reduction, the IL-1α concentrations in culture media samples retained from the three negative controls and the three test item-treated tissues were analyzed by ELISA. The IL-1α concentration value of two tissues was found below the limit of quantification (< 5.00 pg/mL). Consequently, the mean IL-1α concentration from the three test item-treated tissues was not calculated. The IL-1α concentration value of the other test item-treated tissue was found < 60 pg/mL (11.2 pg/mL). Therefore, the results met the criteria for an in vitro classification as non-irritant to skin.
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item, E507469, is considered to be non-irritant to skin.
According to the results of this study, the classification of the test item should be: No Category (UN GHS and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008).

An eye treated and promptly washed had generalized slight corneal cloudiness, moderate iritis and mild conjunctivitis. Both eyes were normal within 14 days after treatment. Since the test material produced moderate ocular effects, it was considered as irritating to the eyes of treated rabbits.
The above result was further supported by an eye irritation study conducted for another similar read across chemical on rabbits .100 mg of the test chemical was instilled into the eyes of rabbits and effects were observed for 24 hours. Moderate irritation effects were observed after 24 hours of instillation of the test chemical. Therefore, the test chemical was considered to be moderately irritating to eyes.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemicalBenzene-1,4-diammonium sulphate (CAS No:16245-77-5)to observe the potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in-vitro and in-vivo experiments conducted for target chemicalBenzene-1,4-diammonium sulphate (CAS No:16245-77-5) and its structurally similar read across substanceswhich have beensummarized as below;
The in-vitro skin irritation study of test chemical Benzene-1,4-diammonium sulphate / E507469 (CAS No:16245-77-5) was conducted using the EpiskinTM reconstructed human epidermis model to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test item. The study design was based upon the international guideline OECD No. 439. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice. Preliminary tests were performed to detect the ability of the test item to directly reduce MTT as well as its colouring potential. Following the preliminary tests, the skin irritation potential of the test item was tested in the main test. The test item and both the negative and positive controls were applied topically on triplicate tissues and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. At the end of the treatment period, each tissue was rinsed with D-PBS and incubated for 42 hours at +37°C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. The cell viability was then assessed by means of the colourimetric MTT reduction assay. Relative viability values were calculated for each tissue and expressed as a percentage of the mean viability of the negative control tissues which was set at 100% (as reference viability). In addition, the concentration of the inflammatory mediator IL-1α was evaluated in the culture medium retained following the 42-hour recovery period. This quantification, based on an ELISA assay, was performed since the mean relative viability of the test item-treated tissues was > 50% following the MTT reduction assay. In the preliminary tests, the test item was found to have direct MTT reducing properties but no colouring properties. All acceptance criteria for the negative and positive controls were fulfilled. The study was therefore considered to be valid. Following a 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours of recovery period, the relative mean viability of the tissues treated with the test item was 94%. As the mean relative viability > 50% after the MTT reduction, the IL-1α concentrations in culture media samples retained from the three negative controls and the three test item-treated tissues were analyzed by ELISA. The IL-1α concentration value of two tissues was found below the limit of quantification (< 5.00 pg/mL). Consequently, the mean IL-1α concentration from the three test item-treated tissues was not calculated. The IL-1α concentration value of the other test item-treated tissue was found < 60 pg/mL (11.2 pg/mL). Therefore, the results met the criteria for an in vitro classification as non-irritant to skin. Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item, E507469, is considered to be non-irritant to skin.
The above result was supported by the primary irritation study of similar read across chemical conducted on male albino guinea pigs. About 0.05 mL aliquot of a 30% and a 3% solution of the test substance in distilled water were applied to the shaved, intact shoulder skin of 10 male albino guinea pigs. Observations were made at 24- and 48-hours after treatment. The test substance as either a 30% or 3% solution in distilled water caused no irritation at 24 and 48 hours on the shaved, intact skin of guinea pigs.
The overall results were further supported by skin irritation study conducted on three male White Vienna rabbits to assess the irritating or corrosive potential of another read across chemical in accordance with OECD guideline (404). About 500mg (0.5g) of chemical was applied on clipped intact skin of upper third of the back or flanks(2.5cm X 2.5cm) of each rabbit. After four hours the patches were removed, and the test site was washed withlutrol and lutrol/water (1 :1). The test sites were examined for erythema and edema at 30 - 60 minutes after removal of the test patches and 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after the beginning of application. No signs of irritation were observed. The mean dermal irritation scores after 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours was 0.0. Hence based on the scores, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to White Vienna rabbit skin under the test experimental condition.
Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,it can be concluded that thechemical Benzene-1,4-diammonium sulphate (CAS No:16245-77-5) is unable to cause skin irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
