Irritant / corrosive response data:

Initially after 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patch during 3 minutes well defined erythema (grade 2) was observed, along with very slight edema (grade 1). After 72 hours the erythema had decreased, and only very slight erythema (grade 1) and dryness were recorded. At 7 and 14 days after removing the cited patch, no skin lesions were recorded. After 24, 48 and 72 hours, intense erythema (grade 4) was observed in one of the animals, along with intense edema (grade 4) at 24 and 48 hours, and moderate edema (grade 3) at 72 hours. after 7 days the erythema had decreased to well defined erythema (grade 2) and desquamation was observed on the area administered. After 14 days very slight erythema (grade 1) and slight desquamation were observed in one of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2 (irritant)

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008)

Conclusions:

The alterations induced by the test item were evaluated following the OECD Guideline 404 and Method B.4. In view of the results obtained, the test item is considered to be irritant , based on the criteria set out in directive 2001/59/EC, Annex VI, and it is therefore assigned the risk phrase R38. According to CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) the test item has to be classified as Category 2 (irritant).

Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study according to the OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals 404 and Commission Directive 2004/73/EC Method B.4, 3 female, young adult New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of Phosphoric acid, mono- and di- C11-14 (linear and branched) alkyl esters (100% a.i.) for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 14 days.

At 60 minutes after removal of the patch exposed during 4 hours, moderate to intense erythema (grade 3) was observed, along with intense edema (grade 4). At 24, 48 and 72 h the erythema had evolved to intense erythema (grade 4), and the intense edema persisted at all the observations.

After 7 days well defined erythema (grade 2) was recorded, along with desquamation and areas of epidermal regeneration. Full recovery was observed after 14 d.

Similar findings were observed on 2 further animals: After 24, 48 and 72 h, intense erythema (grade 4) was observed in one animal along with intense edema (grade 4) at 24 and 48 h and moderate edema (grade 3) at 72 h. After 14 d very slight erythema (grade 1) and slight desquamation were still present in this animal.

Moderate to intense erythema (grade 3) was recorder in the third animal after 24, 48 and 72 h, accompanied with moderate edema (grade 3) at 24 h and slight edema (grade 2) at 48 and 72 h. After 14 d the erythema had remitted, only slight desquamation was observed.

The means of the erythema and edema evaluations at 24, 48 and 72 hours for the three animals after a four-hour exposure were 4/4/3 (erythema) and 4/3.6/2.3 (edema).

In this study, Phosphoric acid, mono- and di- C11-14 (linear and branched) alkyl esters is an skin irritant (Category 2) based on the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
