Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm(2)
- % coverage: 100 %
- Type of wrap if used:The treated area was covered with a hydrophilic gauze patch to prevent loss of test material. The test material and the gauze patch were held in contact with the skin with a semi-occlusive patch adhesive tape. The animals were maintained in restrainer cages for 15 min.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the residual test substance was removed with a gauze saturated with sterile pyrogen-free water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
With reference the reported scores and the reversibility of the observed effects Phosphoric acid, mixed esters with Bu.Alc. and Ethylene glycol has not to be classified as irritant to the skin according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

Phosphoric acid, mixed esters with Bu.Alc. and Ethylene glycol was tested for its skin irritant properties in 6 New Zealand White rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 404. Effects on the skin (erythema grades up to 2 and edema scores up to 2) were observed some animals 24 hours after application. These signs were fully reversible within the 7 days observation period.
