Executive summary:

The test of acute dermal toxicity to the rat (strain Wistar) for DMBA was performed as a limit test according to 92/69/EWG, B.3 (OECD 402) under GLP condition.  5 females and 5 males of rats were exposed with semiocclusive type of coverage to dose of 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours.


Results: No mortalities occurred and no clinical symptoms were observed. The body weight gain was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.


No effects to the organs were observed. Only slight scaling of the treated skin was observed in one male and two females, which persisted in two animals (one female and one male) until day 11 and in one female animal until day 12 of the observation period.


The LD50 was established as more than 2000 mg/kg bw. (LD 50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).
