Description of key information

There are no skin or eye irritation data available for BHMT-H. Therefore, data are read across from the structural analogue DTPMP-H (CAS 15827-60-8).

See irritation/corrosion endpoint summary for the irritant form of BHMT-H for details on skin and eye irritation data.

Conclusions:
In a skin irritation study (reliability score 2), which was comparable to an OECD 404 study, Dequest 2060s was corrosive to the skin of two rabbits. Due to the severity of the reaction, additional animals were not tested.

The summary is as follows (no further details included):

"The report creates a slight problem in that two sites per animal were exposed instead of "the test site" referred to in EEC Annex V B4,1.6.3. Analyses of the results can be performed in alternative ways.

1) Each test site analysed separately, whence the test could be regarded as having been carried out on 6 animals.

The scores "per animal" averaged over 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours are:

erythema 1.75, 1.75, 2.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0........1.75

oedema 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 ,1.......1.0

2) The two test sites are averaged for each animal, whence the test is regarded as, having been carried out on 3 animals.

The scores per animal averaged over 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours are:

Erythema: Animal 1, 1.75; Animal 2, 1.5; Animal 3, 2.

Oedema: Animal 1, 1; Animal 2, 1; Animal 3, 1.

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The authors of a letter regarding the skin irritation/corrosion of Dequest 2060s (reliability score 4) summarised the findings of a skin irritation study for which the full study report is not currently available, and concluded that Dequest 2060s is irritating, but not corrosive to the skin of rabbits.

Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study (reliability score 2) conducted prior to the adoption of OECD test guidelines and GLP, 0.5 ml undiluted 58% w/w solution of diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) was applied to the clipped, intact skin of three New Zealand white rabbits for 24 hours. A 1x1 inch square patch was used and covered with an occlusive dressing. Skin reactions were scored at 1, 24, 48, 72, 120 and 168 hours using the Draize scoring system. After one hour there were no skin changes, but by 24 hours there was grade 1 erythema (no oedema) in all three animals. This erythema had disappeared by 48 hours. Therefore the test substance was mildly irritating to the skin of rabbits.

Executive summary:

In a skin irritation study (reliability score 4), only available as a summary table, and conducted prior to the adoption of the OECD test guidelines, 0.5 ml undiluted DTPMP-H (Dequest 2060) was applied to the intact and abraded skin of six New Zealand white rabbits. The exposure was stated to be 24 hours, but there was no information on the type of dressing used, or whether the application site was washed. Skin reactions were then graded according to the scoring system of Draize at 4, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours. Very mild (grade 1) erythema was observed at 24 hours in all six animals for intact and abraded skin. This mild reaction had reversed by 48 hours. DTPMP-H was very slightly irritating to rabbit skin.

Basis:
animal #3
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Remarks on result:
other: not included as severe effects were seen at 1 hour observation in one animal, which was euthanised for welfare reasons.
Irritation parameter:
chemosis score

animal #3

There was almost instantaneous destruction of the corneal epithelium. This was accompanied by corneal opacification, which over portions of the cornea was severe. Distinct iritis was observed. Well-defined conjunctival swelling with the eye about half closed and necrosis of the nictitating membrane and palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae were observed. The animal was killed one hour after instillation due to the severity of the reactions observed.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study (reliability score 2), which was comparable to OECD 405, Dequest 2060s (DTPMP acid) was immediately corrosive to the eye of a rabbit. Additional rabbits were not tested due to the severity of the reaction.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

There are no skin or eye irritation data available for BHMT-H. Therefore, data are read across from the structural analogue DTPMP-H (CAS 15827-60-8).

See irritation/corrosion endpoint summary for the irritant form of BHMT-H for details on skin and eye irritation data.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The neutralised form of BHMT-H is not classified for skin or eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
