Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was only slightly irritating to the skin. No classification is required according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant skin irritation study performed similarly to the OECD 404 Guideline, six male New Zealand white rabbits were dosed dermally with undilued test materail. 0.5 ml of the test substance was applied to 1 intact and 1 abraded site on the clipped back for a total of 1.0 ml per rabbit. The sites were occluded for 24 hours. Those exposure conditions correspond to a worst case approach as the test guidance recommends an exposure under semi-occlusive patch and for 4h. The skin reactions were evaluated by the Draize technique at 24 and 72 hours after the test item application. Body weights were recorded pre-test. The Primary irritation Index was calculated.


Erythema, absent to well-defined at 24 hours after test article application, was absent at 72 hours. Edema, absent to slight at 24 hours after test article application, was absent at 72 hours. Diarrhoea and ano-genital soiling, noted in one animal, was the only abnormal systemic sign observed during the study.


 


The Primary Irritation Index was 0.54.


 


The mean individual scores calculated within 2 scoring times (24 and 72 hrs) for the unabraded skin were 0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.5/0.5/0.0/0.0/0.0 for edema.


 


Under the test conditions, the test item is not classified as skin irritant when applied topically to rabbits according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).


This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for the skin irritation endpoint.

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Triethyl phosphono acetate is irritating to the eye rabbit and required the classification as Eye Irr. 2A (H319) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed similarly to the OECD 405 guideline, 0.1 mL of undiluted Triethyl phosphono acetate was instilled into the right eye of 6 female New Zealand White Rabbits. After the instillation the substance did not remain. Animals were then observed for 21 days for eye edema and erythema of the conjunctive, corneal opacity and iris lesion. 


Eye irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the instillation of the substance and then at days 7, 14 and 21. The mean individual score were calculated within 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hrs).


 


The mean individual scores were for 1.67/2.33/2.0/1.67/2.0/2.0 chemosis, 0.33/1.0/1.0/0.33/0.33/0.33 for iris lesion, 2.0/2.0/2.33/1.67/2.33/2.0 for conjunctival erythema, and 0.67/2.33/2.0/ 2.0/1.33/2.0 for corneal opacity.


Effects on the iris and the conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) were fully reversible in all animals within 14 days. However, corneal opacity persisted in one animal until day 21 whereas in all other animals (5/6) the effect fully reversed within 7 days.


 


Under the test conditions,Triethyl phosphonoacetate is considered as irritating to the eye rabbit and is therefore classified as Eye Irr. 2A (H319) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).


 


This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for the eye irritation endpoint.

Additional information

Skin irritation:


In a GLP study following a protocol equivalent to the OECD guideline 404, Triethyl phosphonoacetate was applied on the skin (abraded or intact) of 6 rabbits for 24 hours under occlusive dressing conditions. The Primary Irritation Index was 0.54. The mean individual scores calculated within 2 scoring times (24 and 72 hrs) for the unabraded skin were 0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5/0.5/0.0 for erythema and 0.0/0.5/0.5/0.0/0.0/0.0 for edema. Therefore Triethyl phosphonoacetate is considered as slightly irritating to the rabbit skin but does not require any classification for the skin irritation under the current criteria for classification.


 


Eye irritation:


In a GLP study following a protocol equivalent to the OECD guideline 405, Triethyl phosphonoacetate was administered to one eye of 6 rabbits. Corneal opacity, iritis and moderate conjunctival irritation (redness and chemosis) were noted in all treated eyes. Most effects had cleared by day 14. Although corneal opacity persisted to day 21 in a limited area of one eye, the degree had decreased and it was concluded that it would eventually have resolved. It was therefore concluded that Triethyl phosphonoacetate is irritating to the eye.


 


Respiratory Irritation:


No data available



Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Self-classification:


Skin:


The threshold for classification of a substance as irritating to the skin according to the criteria based on 4-hour exposure is a mean score for 2/3 animals for 24/48/72 hours ≥ 2.3.


 


In the study on Triethyl phosphonoacetate with 24-hour exposure, there were no scores >1 for intact skin at 24 and 72 hours. Triethyl phosphonoacetate is therefore not classified for skin irritation according to the criteria of the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).


 


Eye:


The threshold for classification of a substance as irritating to the eye according to the criteria is a mean score for 2/3 animals for 24/48/72 hours ≥ 1 for corneal opacity or iritis, or ≥ 2 for conjunctival redness or chemosis.


 


The ocular irritation scores for Triethyl phosphonoacetate were above the irritation classification thresholds for corneal opacity and conjunctival effects. Although corneal opacity was not fully resolved at the end of the observation period for one animal, it was considered potentially reversible. Triethyl phosphonoacetate is therefore classified as Eye Irr. 2 (H319) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).


 


Respiratory System:


Triethyl phosphonoacetate cannot be classified for respiratory irritation due to a lack of data.
