Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

olive oil

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 40 cm²
- % coverage: 10% of the body surface
The test item was covered with an air-permeable dressing (4 layers of absorbent gauze (Ph. Eur. supplied by Lohmann GmbH & Co., KG) and stretch bandage (Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) supplied by Beiersdorf AG).

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: rinsing of the application site with warm water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
The test item preparation was produced shortly before application by stirring with a magnetic stirrer. For better handling the preparation was heated at 45°C. The preparation was administrated hand warm

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation Recording of clinical signs several times on the day of administration, and at least once daily thereafter each workday for the individual animals.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of the test substance after dermal application was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test), young adult Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance (as solution in olive oil Ph. Eur.) to the clipped skin (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk) and covered by semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The application area comprised at least 10 % of the total body surface area. The animals were observed for 14 days.

The following test item-related effects were recorded:

- No mortality occured

- No signs of systemic toxicity or skin effects

- The mean body weight of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. The mean body weight of almost all female animals did not adequately increase during the first post-exposure week, but the females gained weight in a normal range during the second week.

- No macroscopic pahologic abnormalities

Accordingly, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.
