In vitro test system
- Test system:
- human skin model
- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Cell source:
- other: not specified
- Source strain:
- not specified
- Justification for test system used:
- The potential for chemically-induced skin irritation and corrosion are important considerations in establishing procedures for the safe handling, packing, and transport of chemicals (UN, 2007). The EpiDerm three-dimensional human skin model has been extensively characterized (EC-ECVAM, 2009) and is approved (OECD, 2013) for identification and classification of skin irritation hazard according to the UN GHS and EU classification system (Category 2/R38 or No label). The EpiDerm model uses human-derived epidermal keratinocytes as the cell source, which are cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model that closely mimics human epidermis at biochemical and physiological levels.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 300 µL MTT (1 mg/mL)
- Incubation time: 3 ± 0.1 hrs
NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3
CALCULATION METHOD:
The mean OD570 value of the blank wells was calculated. Individual blank corrected OD570 values for each test chemical or control tissue were determined by subtracting the mean OD570 value of the blank wells from their individual OD570 values. The mean of the corrected OD570 values for the negative control was calculated. Corrected Individual Tissue OD570 = individual tissue OD570 – mean blank OD570 For each individual tissue, % viability relative to negative control was calculated using the following formula:
% Viability = Corrected Individual OD570 of Test Chemical (or Control) / Corrected Mean OD570 of Negative Control X 100
The individual relative viabilities were tabulated for each tissue and the mean and standard deviations for viability values were calculated for the test chemical and control
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
- The test substance is considered to be an irritant to skin if the mean relative tissue viability of the 3 individual tissues exposed to the test chemical is ≤ 50% of mean viability of the negative control
- The test substance is considered to be non-irritant to skin if the mean relative tissue viability of the 3 individual tissues exposed to the test chemical is >= 50% of mean viability of the negative control - Control samples:
- yes, concurrent negative control
- yes, concurrent positive control

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- skin irritation potential (UN GHS Cat 1 or 2)
- Conclusions:
- The mean relative cell viability of vinylbenzyl chloride and positive control-treated tissues were 2.3% and 3.2% (i.e. ≤ 50%), respectively, therefore, vinylbenzyl chloride was interpreted as a potential irritant (UN GHS Cat 1 or 2) in the EpiDerm irritation assay.
- Executive summary:
Vinylbenzyl chloride was evaluated for skin irritation potential in an non-GLP in vitro EpiDerm skin irritation assay (MatTek Corporation; Ashland, MA) according to OECD Guideline 439.
The EpiDerm tissue model consists of normal human epidermal keratinocytes that are cultured to form a multilayered, differentiated model of human epidermis. In this assay, vinylbenzyl chloride was topically applied to the EpiDerm tissue for 60 minutes, followed by a 42-hour post-exposure recovery. Following recovery, the cell viability was measured in treated and control tissues using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and the data reported as a percentage of the mean of negative control. A test chemical is considered to possess skin irritation potential (UN GHS Cat 1 or 2) if the relative cell viability is less than or equal to 50%. In this study, Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) and 1% TRITON™ X-100 served as the negative and positive controls, respectively.
The mean relative cell viability of vinylbenzyl chloride and positive control-treated tissues were 2.3% and 3.2% (i.e. ≤ 50%), respectively, therefore, vinylbenzyl chloride was interpreted as a potential irritant (UN GHS Cat 1 or 2) in the EpiDerm irritation assay.
