Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
After a 3- and 60-minute exposure period of EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis to phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compound with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol], the registered substance was determined to be corrosive to human skin (Skin Corr. 1B/1C) (CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008). This classification was based on a resulting tissue viability of 27.1 and 26.5 % after 3 and 60 minutes, respectively.
Executive summary:

An in vitro experiment was undertaken to determine the skin corrosion potential of phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compound with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] in line with OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method). The study was compliant with GLP. A single topical application of phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compound with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] was applied reconstructed human epidermis Epiderm™ neat at 50 µl. A negative control of tissue grade sterile water and positive control of potassium hydroxide was run in parallel and similarly applied at 50 µl. Epiderm™ was exposed to test and reference items for a 3- and 60-minute period at 37 °C, 5 % CO2, 95 % RH. Following the exposure period and prior to final measurement of the tissue viability, all tissues were rinsed, loaded with MTT (3-[4,5dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide), and extracted in isopropanol. Corrosion is directly related to cytotoxicity in the EpiDerm™ tissue. Cytotoxicity is determined by the reduction of MTT to formazan by viable cells in the test item treated tissues relative to the corresponding negative control. The results are subsequently used to make a prediction of the corrosion potential.

All controls were valid and demonstrated the reliability of the test system. Mean tissue viability, calculated as a percentage of the negative control, was 27.1 % after a 3-minute exposure and 26.5 % after a 60-minute exposure. According to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, phosphoric acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester, compound with 2,2'-iminobis[ethanol] should be regarded as corrosive to human skin and classified as Skin Corr. 1B/1C.
