Description of key information
Skin Irritation:
Even though one of the closely related substance, suggests that Ferric hypophosphite can be not irritating to skin. But pH of ferric hypophosphite was determined to be in the range of 3.5-3.7
Hence, the possibility of ferric hypophosphite to cause irritation to skin is quite likely.
Applying the weight of evidence approach, Ferric hypophosphite can considered to be an skin irritant and classified under the category "Category 2" as per CLP.
Eye Irritation:
Even though one of the closely related substance, suggests that Ferric hypophosphite can be not irritating to eyes. But pH of ferric hypophosphite was determined to be in the range of 3.5-3.7
Hence, the possibility of ferric hypophosphite to cause irritation to eyes is quite likely.
Applying the weight of evidence approach, Ferric hypophosphite can considered to be an eye irritant and classified under the category "Category 2" as per CLP.

Applying the weight of evidence approach, Ferric hypophosphite can considered to be a skin irritant and classified under the category "Category 2" as per CLP.- Executive summary:
Based on the available studies for the closely related chemicals, weight of evidence approach was applied to assess the dermal irritation potential of Ferric hypophosphite.
A study was performed to assess the extent of irritation or corrosion caused by test chemical to rabbit skin. The study was performed according to OECD 404 and EC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Method B4, Acute Toxicity – Skin irritation.0.5 g of test chemical was applied undiluted to the clipped dorsum skin of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions for 4 hours. Milli-U water used to moisten the substance to ensure good skin contact. Dermal observations were made for up to 72 hours.
No irritation was observed at any of the treated dermal sites on three rabbits exposed for 4 hours to test chemical. There was no evidence of a corrosive reaction and no indications of dermal staining by the test substance. No mortalities occurred and there were no signs of systemic toxicity recorded.Based on these observations the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
This is supported by a study conducted to determine the extent of irritation or corrosion caused by another closely related test chemical to rabbit skin. The test chemical was applied to back skin of rabbits for one, five, 15 minutes or 20 hours and observed for effects. Exposure to the back skin for 20 hours resulted in slight necrosis, desquamation and scabbing. Hence the test chemical was regarded to be corrosive to rabbit skin.

Applying the weight of evidence approach, Ferric hypophosphite can considered to be an eye irritant and classified under the category "Category 2" as per CLP. - Executive summary:
Based on the available studies for the closely related chemicals, weight of evidence approach was applied to assess the ocular irritation potential of Ferric hypophosphite.
The ocular irritation potential of the test chemical was assessed in rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD 405 and EC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Method B5, Acute Toxicity – Eye irritation Guidelines.3.2 mg equivalent to a volume of 0.1 mL of undiluted test chemical was instilled into the eyes of 3 male New Zealand White rabbits.After instillation of the test substance, ocular assessments and clinical observations were performed in the treated eyes for up to 72 hours. Mortality and clinical condition was checked twice daily and rabbits were checked at least once daily for signs of systemic toxicity. Body weights were recorded on the day prior to instillation of test chemical. The treated eyes were assessed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation and reactions were graded using the standard Draize scale for ocular reactions
The reactions elicited included iridial and conjunctival changes, generally very slight but including slight chemosis in one rabbit. No corneal opacity was evident and all of the ocular changes had overtly resolved within 48 -72 hours of dosing. The mean scores for the group of three rabbits over the 24 - 72 hour assessments were 0,0,0,0.44,0 for corneal opacity, iridial response, conjunctival redness, and conjunctival chemosis respectively.
Based on the scores and reversible reactions, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
This is supported by An acute eye irritation study performed on New Zealand White rabbit to assess the irritancy potential of the other closely related test chemical.
The test chemical was instilled into the eyes of rabbits and observed for effects.
The gross median score was determined to be 39.0. A conjunctival redness score of 3 was recorded at 4 hours; also noted was haemorrhage of nictitating membrane, upper and lower conjunctive membrane and blood stained discharge and as such the animal was euthanized after the one hour. Hence, on the basis of scores and observations, the test material was determined to be corrosive.
In another eye irritation study for the another closely related chemical, 0.05 - 0.1 cc of 10% solution was injected into the vitreous humor of the rabbit eyes and observed for signs of irritation till 4 weeks. Injection of the test chemical caused a loss of pupillary response to light, marked drop in resting potential of eye measured at cornea and subnormal intraocular pressure in 1- 4 weeks of observation.
Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be severely irritating to eyes.
Even though one of the closely related substance, suggests that Ferric hypophosphite can be not irritating to eyes. But pH of ferric hypophosphite was determined to be in the range of 3.5-3.7
Hence, the possibility of ferric hypophosphite to cause irritation to eyes is quite likely.
Applying the weight of evidence approach, Ferric hypophosphite can considered to be an eye irritant and classified under the category "Category 2" as per CLP.
