Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
A single dermal dose of 2000 mg/kg bw produced no mortalities in a mixed group of albino rabbits (5 male and 5 female).
Clinical signs:
other: All rabbits in the test group and the sham-exposed control group appeared normal throughout the 14-day test.
Gross pathology:
10 rabbits from the test material exposed group and 4 rabbits from the sham-exposed group were necropsied on day 14 and appeared normal.
Other findings:
- Other observations: local effects: Local dermal effects in the test material group included darkened dose sites, severe erythema, mild edema and the skin at the abrasion marks was separated and filled with reddish fluid and pus-like material. There were no apparent local dermal effects following a 24 hour sham-treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Calcium bis(dihydrogenorthophosphate) was found to have a dermal LD50 of >2000 mg/kg bw, therefore, calcium bis(dihydrogenorthophosphate) is not considered to be classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU CLP).
This study has been selected as the key study because the results are sufficient in order to derive a reliable conclusion on classification and labelling in accordance with Regulation EC (No.) 1272/2008 (EU CLP).
