Additional information

Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide was shown not to be neither a skin nor an eye irritant.

In a guideline study 0.5g of the test substance were applied to the intact and abraded skin of 6 White Vienna rabbits for 24h under occlusive conditions. On the intact skin, with the exception of grade 1 erythema in one rabbit after 48h, mild skin reaction (erythema grade 1 in 4 rabbits, grade 2 in 2 rabbits and edema grade 1 and 2 in one rabbit each) were only observed after 24h, right after removal of the occlusive dressing. On the abraded skin, grade 1 erythema persisted in 2 rabbits up to 72h.

In an in vivo study 0.65g of the test substance (app. 0.1ml) were applied to one eye each of 6 White Vienna rabbits. After 24h, and in 2 animals also after 48h, slight conjunctival redness was observed (grade 1 in 5 animals, grade 1 in one animal after 24h). No further substance related effects were observed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data indicate no skin or eye irritating potential of diphenyl(2,4,6 -trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide, thus no classification according to 67/548/EEC or CLP/EU-GHS is justified.
