Description of key information
Skin irritation: In accordance with the testing strategy detailed in Annex VIII, column 1 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 the assessment of the endpoint ‘skin irritation or skin corrosion’ has been performed following the consecutive steps detailed in the Regulation. As such an in vitro skin corrosion study has been performed. The key study (Warren N, 2013) is conducted according to an appropriate validated in vitro guideline and under the conditions of GLP and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy both the guideline requirement and the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint. In addition, the data is considered to be adequate and reliable for classification and labelling in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP).Eye irritation: In accordance with the testing strategy detailed in Annex VIII, column 1 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 an ex vivo study has been performed prior to conducting an in vivo study. This study is not sufficient for classification and labelling in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP). However, the study does support the conclusion that magnesium bis(dihydrogenorthophosphate) is not corrosive to the eyes and the data can therefore be used to support the conclusions made in the in vivo study. The in vivo study (Bradshaw J, 2013) is conducted according to an appropriate guideline and under the conditions of GLP and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done):
At the end of the exposure period, each tissue was removed from the well using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing DPBS with Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of PBS to gently remove any residual test material. The rinsed tissues were transferred to the second column of 3 wells containing 2 ml of maintenance medium in each well. The rinsed tissues were incubated at 37ºC, 5% CO2 in air for 42 hours.
- Time after start of exposure:
15 minutes post-exposure
SCORING SYSTEM:
Quantitative MTT Assessment (percentage tissue viability)
For the test material the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained after the 15 minute treatment followed by the 42 hour post-exposure incubation period were compared to the mean of the negative control treated tissues (n=3). The relative mean viabilities were calculated in the following way:
mean OD540 of test material / mean OD540 of negative control x 100 = Relative mean tissue viability (percentage of negative control)
Classification of irritation potential is based upon relative tissue viability following the 15 minute exposure period followed by the 42 hour post-exposure incubation period according to the following:
Mean tissue viability is ≤50% : Irritant: H315, Category 2
Mean tissue viability is >50% : Non-Irritant (NI) - Irritation / corrosion parameter:
- % tissue viability
- Value:
- 86.2
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues was 86.2% after a 15-minute exposure.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test material was considered to be Non-Irritant (NI).
This study is conducted according to an appropriate validated in vitro guideline and under the conditions of GLP and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy both the guideline requirement and the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint. In addition, the data is considered to be adequate and reliable for classification and labelling in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP). Magnesium bis(dihydrogenorthophosphate) is not considered to be classified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP).

RESULTS
Direct MTT Reduction
The MTT solution containing the test material did not turn blue which indicated that the test material did not directly reduce MTT.
Test Material, Positive Control Material and Negative Control Material
The individual and mean OD540 values, standard deviations and tissue viabilities for the test material, negative control material and positive control material are given in Table 1. The mean viabilities and standard deviations of the test material and positive control, relative to the negative control are also given in Table 1.
The relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues was 82.6% after a 15 minute exposure.
The MTT solution containing the test item did not turn blue which indicated that the test item did not directly reduce MTT.
Quality Criteria
The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 5.4% relative to the negative control treated tissues and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 2.2%. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The mean OD540 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.697 and the standard deviation value of the percentage viability was 8.2%. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied. The standard deviation calculated from individual percentage tissue viabilities of the three identically treated tissues was 3.4%. The test item acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

- Executive summary:
Introduction
The study was performed to assess the irritancy potential of the test item to the eye of the New Zealand White rabbit. The method was designed to be compatible with the following:
OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 405 “Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion” (adopted 24 April 2002)
Method B5 Acute Toxicity (Eye Irritation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008
Result
A single application of the test item to the non-irrigated eye of two rabbits produced iridial inflammation and moderate conjunctival irritation. Both treated eyes appeared normal at the 7-Day observation.
Conclusion
The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 15.5 and was classified as a moderate irritant (Class 5 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.
The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Interpretation of Results
The numerical values corresponding to each animal, tissue and observation time were recorded. The data relating to the conjunctivae were designated by the letters A (redness), B (chemosis) and C (discharge), those relating to the iris designated by the letter D and those relating to the cornea by the letters E (degree of opacity) and F (area of cornea involved). For each tissue the score was calculated as follows:
Score
for conjunctivae = (A + B + C) x 2
Score for iris = D x 5
Score for cornea = (E x F) x 5
Using the numerical data obtained a modified version of the system ( Modified Kay and Calandra Interpretation of Eye Irritation Test was used to classify the ocular irritancy potential of the test material. This was achieved by adding together the scores for the cornea, iris and conjunctivae for each time point for each rabbit.
If evidence of irreversible ocular damage is noted, the test material will be classified as corrosive to the eye.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation: No classification is proposed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP).
Eye irritation: No classification is proposed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP).
The above conclusions are based on reliable (Klimisch 1) and adequate data and as such no further testing is anticipated. There are no workplace data to suggest that magnesium bis(dihydrogenorthophosphate) is irritating to the respiratory tract.
