Additional information

In an acute dermal irritation or corrosion study similar to OECD 404, 0.5 ml of the test substance were topically applied to the intact skin of 3 White Vienna rabbits for 4 hours under occlusive dressing (BASF AG 1981). Skin reactions were scored 30 -60min, 24h, 48h, and 9days after removal of the test substance. No signs of irritation were observed. The score was 0 at all time points for erythema and edema.

6 white Vienna rabbits (3males, 3 females) were subjected to a single application of 0.1ml of the test substance into the conjunctival sac of one eye (BASF AG 1981) . The average scores (24 to 72h) were calculated to be 0.05 for corneal opacity, 0.0 for iris, 0.9 for conjunctivae redness (mainly due to one rabbit with score of 2), and 0.1 for chemosis. The findings were reversible in all animals within the 8 day observation period.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the available studies, ethyl phenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphinate is not required to be classified for its skin or eye irritating potential according to 67/548/EEC and CLP/EU-GHS requirements.
