- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
In accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) the standard testing regime may be adapted in cases where a grouping or read-across approach has been applied.
The similarities may be based on:
(1) a common functional group
(2) the common precursors and/or the likelihood of common breakdown products via physical or biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals; or
(3) a constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the category
The proposed source chemical (is a mixture of ammonium orthophosphates and ammonium pyrophosphates and is highly soluble in water (> 10000 mg/L). In aqueous media soluble inorganic orthophosphates and pyrophosphates will dissociate to their ionic constituents; in this case ammonium and orthophosphate or pyrophosphate ions. Diammonium dihydrogenpyrophosphate will dissociate to ammonium cations and pyrophosphate anions. The pyrophosphate anions are unstable in aqueous solutions with the degree of instability varying according to pH. In distilled water they will hydrolyse slowly via abiotic mechanisms to orthophosphate. In natural waters a number of different processes can occur; abiotic hydrolysis, biotic degradation (as a result of the action of phosphatases which cleave pyrophosphates into orthophosphate subunits) and assimilation by organisms in the water. Thus, the target substance (diammonium dihydrogenpyrophosphate) and the source substance (mixture of ammonium orthophosphates and pyrophosphates) will be primarily absorbed as the same inorganic ions: ammonium and orthophosphate and are expected to behave in a similar manner under test conditions.
All (bio) transformation products of the source chemical are common to the target chemical and as such the data is considered to be adequate and reliable for use in the assessment of diammonium dihydrogenpyrophosphate for the toxicity hazard assessment.

Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- animals testing simultaneously, observation period not 14 days
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Three animals were tested simultaneously rather than sequentially.
Observation period was not stated to be 14 days, however no signs of erythema or oedema were noted so there was no reversibility of effects to monitor. - GLP compliance:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Authentication declaring that the work was performed in accordance with GLP signed by study director 18 January 1990

- liquid
- Details on test material:
- The identity of the test material is not reported within the study report itself, however the data is referred to in the Toxicological Risks of Selected Flame Retardant Chemicals (2000), Subcommittee on Flame-Retardant Chemicals, Committee on Toxicology, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, National Research Council. ISBN: 0-309-59232-1. The substance LR-2 is an ‘ammonium polyphosphate’ and the author provides the following additional information with regards to the chemical identity of LR2: ‘Based on information provided by the manufacturer (Stewart Miller, Albright and Wilson, pers. commun., Nov. 1, 1999), a typical species distribution of polyphosphates in LR2 is 20% orthophosphate, 40% pyrophosphate,
