Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion
As per the column 2 of Annex VII of REACH regulation, the available information indicates that the substance 2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid is a strong acid (pH < 2.0). Also the substance is classified as very corrosive. Thus testing for skin irritation is not likely. Hence this endpoint was considered for waiver.
Eye irritation
As per the column 2 of Annex VII of REACH regulation, the available information indicates that the substance 2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid is a strong acid (pH < 2.0). Also the substance is classified as very corrosive. Thus testing for eye irritation is not likely. Hence this endpoint was considered for waiver.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
As per the column 2 of Annex VII of REACH regulation, the available information indicates that the substance 2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid is a strong acid (pH < 2.0). Also the substance is classified as very corrosive. Thus testing for skin irritation is not likely. Hence this endpoint was considered for waiver.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
As per the column 2 of Annex VII of REACH regulation, the available information indicates that the substance 2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid is a strong acid (pH < 2.0). Also the substance is classified as very corrosive. Thus testing for eye irritation is not likely. Hence this endpoint was considered for waiver.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: corrosive
Effects on eye irritation: corrosive
Justification for classification or non-classification
The chemical has been classified as a Skin and Eye irritant considering the fact that it has a pH value less than 2.
