- Age at study initiation: 11 to 13 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2,29 to 3,18 kg
- Housing: individual housing
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17 to 23
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70
- Air changes (per hr): 15 volumes per hour
- Photoperiod: 12 hrs dark/ 12 hrs light

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0,5 mL pure test item
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
3 male rabbits
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back and flank of rabbits
- % coverage: 6 cm²
- Type of wrap if used: adhesive tape

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
0: no erythema/ no oedema
1: slight erythema/ oedema, just perceptible
2: erythema/ oedema well defined
3: moderate to severe erythema/ oedema
4: severe erythema with eschar formation / severa oedema with thickness > 1mm

Individual values were reported for each animal at 24, 48 and 72h for oedema and erythema. Then Primary Skin Irritation index was calculated from values of 24 and 72h, summed and divided by 2 values x 3 animals = 6
The scale was then:

primary skin irritation (PSI) <= 0,5 : not irritating
0,5 < PSI <= 2 : slightly irritant
2 < PSI <=5 : irritant
5< PSI <= 8: very irritant

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
With a primary skin irritation index of 1,8, Phosphorous acid, tri-C12-14-alkyl esters was slightly irritant according to french protocol and scaling but not classified according to GHS criteria.
Executive summary:

Phosphorous acid, tri-C12-14-alkyl esters was tested in vivo for skin irritation using OECD 404 test guideline, but the study was not performed under GLP conditions. No deviation to the guideline was noted and the study was considered as reliable but quoted with reliability 2.

Three New Zealand white rabbits were tested with 0,5 mL pure test item and scoring was performed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hour.

Slight erythema well defined were noted for 3 animals and very slight oedema on 2 animals after 24h observation. All were fully reversible within 6 days. No other clinical or systemic signs were noted.

With a primary skin irritation index of 1,8, Phosphorous acid, tri-C12-14-alkyl esters was considered as slightly irritant according to french protocol and scaling but not classified according to GHS criteria.
