- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin corrosivity and irritation test of diammonium tetrachlorozincate(2-) was performed in a reconstructed human epidermis model.EPISKINTM(SM) is designed to predict and classify thecorrosivity and irritation potential of chemicals by measuring its cytotoxic effect as reflected in the MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. The corrosivity and irritation potential of the test item was evaluated according to theOECD No. 431 and No. 439 guidelines.
Disks of EPISKINTM(SM) were treated with the test item and incubated for 15 minutes (irritation testing) and 4 hours (corrosivity testing) at room temperature. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). The epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2,in a > 95% humidified atmosphere (irritation testing). The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2protected from light,in a > 95% humidified atmosphere. The precipitated formazan crystals were then extracted using acidified isopropanol and quantified spectrophotometrically.
Physiological saline (0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution) treated epidermis were used as negative control and glacial acetic acid treated epidermis were used as positive control (two units/control) in case of the corrosivity testing. PBS treated epidermis were used as negative control and 5 % (w/v) Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) solution treated epidermis were used as positive control (three units/control) in case of the irritation testing. Two additional disks were used to provide in each case an estimate of colour contribution (NSCliving) from the test item. For each treated tissue, the viability was expressed as a % relative to the negative control. For corrosivity, if the mean relative viability is <35% the test item is considered to be corrosive to skin. For irritation, if the mean relative viability after 15 minutes of exposure and 42 hours post incubation is less or equal (≤) to 50% of the negative control, the test item is considered to be irritant to skin.
Corrosivity testing:
Following exposure with diammonium tetrachlorozincate(2-), the mean cell viability was 81.3% compared to the negative control. This is above the threshold of 35%, therefore the test item was considered as being non-corrosive to skin.
Irritation testing:
Following exposure with diammonium tetrachlorozincate(2-), the mean cell viability was 74.7% compared to the negative control. This is above the threshold of 50%, thereforethe test item was considered as being non-irritant to skin.
In conclusion, in thisin vitroEPISKINTM(SM)model test withdiammonium tetrachlorozincate(2-), the results indicate that the test item is non-corrosive and non-irritant to the skin, UN GHS Classification: No Category.

- Executive summary:
An in vitro eye irritation study of the test item was performed in isolated chicken’s eyes. The irritation effects of the test item were evaluated according to the OECD No. 438 guideline (09 October 2017).
After the zero reference measurements, the eye was held in horizontal position and 30 mg powdered test itemwas applied onto the centre of the cornea in such a way that the entire surface of the cornea was covered. After 10 seconds, the surface was rinsed with physiological saline. Positive control eyes were treated with 30 mg powdered Imidazole. The negative control eye was treated with 30 µL ofphysiological saline(0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution). In the study, three test item treated eyes, three positive control treated eyes and one negative control treated eye were examined.
The results from all eyes used in the study met the quality control standards. The negative control and positive control results were within the historical control data range in the experiment. Thus, the experiment was considered to be valid.
Slight corneal swelling was observed during the four-hour observation period on test item treated eyes. Severe cornea opacity change (severity 2 on one eye and severity 4 on two eyes) was observed on three eyes. Severe fluorescein retention change (severity 3) was noted on all three eyes.Test item was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. The cornea surfaces were cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
Based on this in vitro eye irritation assay in isolated chicken eyes with diammonium tetrachlorozincate(2-),the test item is irritant,UN GHS Classification: Category 1.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based upon OECD 431/439 in vitro skin irritation/corrosion data, diammonium tetrachlorozincate does not require classification as a skin irritant
Based upon OECD 438 in vitro eye irritation data, diammonium tetrachlorozincate does require classification as an severe eye irritant.
