Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Phenyl chloroformate
EC Number:
217-547-8
EC Name:
Phenyl chloroformate
Cas Number:
1885-14-9
Molecular formula:
C7H5ClO2
IUPAC Name:
phenyl chloroformate
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Phenyl chloroformate

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
albino rabbits, no further data available

Test system

Type of coverage:
open
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Amount / concentration applied:
0.01 mL undiluted sample
Observation period:
24 hours
Number of animals:
5
Details on study design:
Primary skin irritation on rabbits is recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and is based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped skin of each of five albino rabbits within 24 hours of the uncovered application of 0.01 mL of undiluted sample or of solutions in water, propylene glycol, or acetone. Grade 1 indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis when undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01% solution.
