Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
TFA is of high acidity.
The information is relevant for corrosivity assessment and waiving of acute toxicity tests on animals.
Executive summary:

The acidity of Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was estimated by pH and acid reserve measurements. No experimental data were provided. Results are respectively 0.45 for a 10% aqueous solution, and 35g NaOH/100g.
