Other effects:
The test substance produced severe irritation for the duration of 7 days when instilled into the eye and not washed out. The product, when tested in accordance with the Federal Hazardous Substance Labeling Act, is considered to be a severe eye irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: 85% phosphoric acid was considered to be a 'severe irritant'
Conclusions:
Identified by hand as 85% phosphoric acid but as information of substance identity and purity was not confirmed not possible to conclude that the results are assignable to phosphoric acid. Nevertheless the irritation effects observed on eyes are similar to effects observed on other tests for 85% phosphoric acid.
