Details on test system:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: after moistening the EpiDerm tissue with 25µl PBS before dosing, 25 mg of the test article was added into the Millicell atop the tissue

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): at the end of the exposure period, each EpiDerm tissue was rinsed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS)
- Time after start of exposure: test article remained in contact with the EpiDerm tissue for 60 minutes.

SCORING SYSTEM:
After washing EpiDerm tissue was transferred to a 24 well plate contaiing 300µl MTT solution. Afterwards the tissues were returned to the incubator for a three-hour MTT incubation period. Following MTT incubation period, each EpiDerm tissue was rinsed with PBS and then treated overnight with 2.0 ml of extractant solution (isopropanol) per well. The absorbancy of an aliquot of the extracted MTT formazan was measured at 540nm using a microplate reader.

Analysis of data:
The mean absorbance value for each time point was calculated from the optical density (OD) of the duplicate samples and expressed as percent viability for each sample using the following formula:
% viability= 100x(OD sample/OD negative control)

Quality controls: negative controls meets the acceptance criterion if the mean OD of the 2 tissues each time point is greater than or equal to 1.0 and smaller than or equal to 2.5. The positive controls meets the acceptance criterion if the mean relative tissue viability, expressed as percentage of the negative control tissues is less than or equal to 20%
the SD calculated from individual percent tissue viabilities of the three identically treated replicates is less than 18%

Amount/concentration applied:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Following exposure with Zinc bis(dihydrogen phosphate), the mean treated skin value was 92.1% and therefore non irritant. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits and therefore the study can be considered as valid.

In this in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model with Zinc bis(dihydrogen phosphate) the results indicated that the test item is Non Irritant (NI) [UN GHS: No Category].

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to predict dermal irritation potential of Zinc bis(dihydrogen phosphate) in the context of identification and classification of skin irritation hazard according to the EU classification (R38 or no label) and GHS classification system (category 2 and non-irritants) by using a three-dimensional human epidermis model (OECD 439). MatTek EpiDerm tissue samples were treated in triplicate with the test article, negative control and positive control for 60 minutes. Following treatment and subsequent incubation time, the viability of the tissues was determined using MTT uptake and conversion, and the absorbance of each sample was measured at 540nm. The viability was then expressed as a percent of control values.

In this in vitro EPIDERM model test with Zinc bis(dihydrogen phosphate), the results indicate that the test item is non irritant.
