Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

other: deionized water

Details on dermal exposure:

To check the suitability of the vehicle 0.5 g Reaktiv-Orange DYPR 1410 was moistened with 0.3 ml deionized water.

Before dermal treatment the fur was mechanically removed from the dorsal skin of the animals over an area of approximately 30 cm.

The appropriate amount of the test substance was moistened on an aluminium foil (6 x 8 cm) and distributed as uniformly as possible. Together with the foil the test substance was administered to the shaved and intact dorsal skin. The foil was held in place with an elastic plaster bandage fixed around the animal's body (Fixomull and Elastoplast, 8 cm in width, both manufactured by Beiersdorf Aktiengesellschaft).
At the end of the dermal exposure period of 24 hours the bandage was removed and the treated skin area washed with warm water in order to remove any unabsorbed remnants of the test substance.

Duration of exposure:

24 h

Doses:

The acute dermal toxicity of Reaktiv-Orange DYPR 1410 was tested only at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight.
If no compound-related mortality is produced in this limit test according to the guidelines no full study has to be carried out.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

10 - 5 male, 5 female.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

The observation period after the dermal administration lasted for 14 days. Symptoms were recorded twice every day (in the morning and in the afternoon), on weekends and public holidays only once. During this time the animals were weighed weekly. At the end of the observation period the animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, dissected and examined for macroscopically visible changes.

Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the results obtained in this study the median lethal dose value (LD50) of Reaktiv-Orange DYPR 1410 for the male and female rat is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

Testing for acute dermal toxicity provides information on health risks resulting from acute dermal exposure and serves as a basis for classification and labelling. It permits the selection of optimum dose levels for repeated dermal toxicity testing and gives the first indications on the percutaneous resorptive properties of a substance. The rat has proved to be a suitable species for acute dermal toxicity testing with many different substances.

 

The study was conducted in compliance with EEC-Guideline B.3. "Acute Dermal Toxicity" of the Directive 92/69/EEC andOECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 402 "Acute Dermal Toxicity". This study was conducted in compliance with the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice.

 

Acute dermal toxicity testing of Reaktiv-Orange DYPR 1410 in the rat yielded a median lethal dose above 2000 mg/kg body weight in both male and female animals. After administration of 2000 mg/kg b.w. neither deaths nor symptoms occurred.

 

Two days after administration up to the end of the study the animals showed orange discolored skin.

 

Development of body weight was not impaired, with exception of one female animal which showed a decrease from day 1 to day 6.

 

The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.
