Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of the test: According to Draize, J.H. et al.: J. Pharmacol. and Exper. Therap. 82:377, 1944
- Short description of test conditions: Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by a technique closely skin to the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates, using groups of four male. The fur was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film. The animals were immobilized during the 24 hour contact period, after which the film was removed and the rabbits were caged for the subsequent 14 day observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The mean lethal dose of the test substance after single dermal application for 24 hours was found to be 265 mg/kg bw in rabbits.
Executive summary:

Penetration of rabbit skin with the test article was estimated by a technique closely skin to the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates (Draize et al. 1944), using groups of four male New Zealand giant albino rabbits. The fur was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film. The animals were immobilized during the 24 hour contact period, after which the film was removed and the rabbits were caged for the subsequent 14 day observation period. Based on the study results a LD50 of 265 mg/kg/bw was calculated.
