REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): 15 times with 25 ml PBS

SCORING SYSTEM:
Corrosivity potential of the test item will be predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained after 3 min, 1 h and 4 h treatment compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with 0.9% NaCl solution (=100%).
A test item is classified "non-corrosive" if relative tissue viability after 4 h treatment is not decreased to less than 35 % of the corresponding negative control tissues.
A test item is classified "corrosive" (in accordance with UN GHS "Category 1") in any case, if the relative tissue viability after 4 h treatment is decreased below 35%; if viability is reduced to less than 35% after 4 h treatment and to more than 35% after 1 h treatment, or to less than 35% viability after 1 h but not more than 35% after 3 min treatment, the test item is classified as corrosive, in accordance with optional UN GHS sub-category 1b/C.
A test item with decreases viability below 35% after 3 min treatment is classified as corrosive in accordance with optional UN GHS sub-category 1A.

Pre-Experiments:
The mixture of 20 mg Tantalum pentachloride per 1 mL MTT medium showed no reduction of MTT as compared to the solvent. The medium turned yellow and insoluble residues of the test item were observed. The test item was coloured slightly pink but the mixture did not turn blue/purple.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- corrosive
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Tantalum pentachloride was classified as corrosive under conditions of a validated EPISKIN-SM in vitro test.
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro skin corrosion study, the reconstituted three-dimensional human skin model EPISKIN-SMTM was topically exposed to 20 mg of Tantalum pentachloride (99.9%) for 3 min, 1 h and 4 h according to OECD guideline 431. After exposure the tissue was washed with PBS and tissue viability was assessed using the MTT reduction assay.
Physiological saline served as negative control, corresponding to 100 % tissue viability. As a positive control glacial acetic acid was used. Measurements were performed in duplicates and mean values were calculated.
In this study, Tantalum pentachloride is skin corrosive, based on a mean tissue viability of less than 35% after 60 min, but not after 3 min. Tantalum pentachloride is classified as corrosive in accordance with CLP sub-category 1B/C.
