Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema was observed in two rabbits at the one hour reading; in one animal this was accompanied by very slight oedema. The reaction had ameliorated in one animal by the 24 hour reading but very slight erythema only persisted in the second rabbit until day 7. One animal did not have any reaction at all.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation study conducted to GLP and OECD 404 (reliability score 1) Briquest 543-50A (DTPMP acid) was mildly irritating to the skin of two rabbits and not irritating to the skin of one rabbit. The mild irritation was not sufficient to trigger classification.
