Description of key information

Based on read across, results of dibutyl hydrogen phosphate (CAS No. 107-66-4) regarding metal corrosivity is taken into account. 
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate is considered to be not corrosive to metal.

Additional information

In order to draw a conclusion on metal corrosivity for bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate, read across with dibutyl hydrogen phosphate (CAS No. 107-66-4) is proposed and the corresponding study on the toxicity to freshwater algal species Desmodesmus subspicatus with dibutyl hydrogen phosphate is taken into account.

Dibutyl hydrogen phosphate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate have very similar chemical structures and their main physico-chemical parameters (vapour pressure, water solubility, octanol/water partition coefficient, organic carbon partition coefficient and dissociation constant) are in the same range. Therefore a read across between this two substances to cover physico-chemical and ecotoxicological endpoints for bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate seems to be justified.

More details regarding the read across justification are depicted in the annex of the Chemical Safety Report (CSR).

 

The metal corrosivity was determined according to UN Test C.1. No corrosivity was observed on aluminium and iron.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read across bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate is considered to be not corrosive to metal, and therefore no classification according to both Directive 67/548/EEC and GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008) is required.
