Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

other: CFY (remote Sprague Dawley origin)

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Rats were in a weight range of 210 to 239 g prior to dosing on day 1 and approximately six to eight weeks of age. All the rats were acclimated to the experimental environment for a period of 15 days prior to study initiation. Animals were housed in individual metal cages with wire mesh floors. Standard diet and water were provided ad libitum. Each animal was identified by cage number and ear punching.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back
- % coverage: 10%
- Type of wrap if used: Gauze held in place with an impermeable plastic dressing

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Treated area of skin were washed in warm water and blotted dry with absorbent paper
- Time after start of exposure: At the end of 24 hours exposure

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg bw

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg (undiluted)

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: Animals were observed soon after dosing and then at frequent intervals for the remainder of day 1. On subsequent days the animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day. The treated areas were examined daily for signs of dermal irritation and assessed according to the standard scoring system for erythema, eschar and oedema
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Clinical signs including body weight
- Other examinations performed: macroscopic post-mortem examination of internal organs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In an acute dermal toxicity study in rats conducted according to OECD 402 with sodium 4-undecylbenzenesulfonate, no mortality and no necropsy findings were observed at 2000 mg/kg bw. Signs of toxicity were seen during the observation period. Based on the results and in accordance with OECD guideline 402 the LD50 was determined to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, classification of sodium 4-undecylbenzenesulfonate for acute dermal toxicity according to the CLP regulation 1272/2008 is not warranted.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study five Wistar rats per sex were dermally exposed to undiluted sodium 4-undecylbenzenesulfonate (purity not specified) for 24 hours to 10% of the surface area of rat backs at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 14 days.

All animals survived until the end of the study. There were no signs of systemic reaction. Well defined or slight erythema and slight oedema were observed at all test sites after removal of the occlusive dressings. These reactions were unresolved before progressive hardening of the skin was first detected on day 4. All test sites were entirely covered by scab formation from day 7. Sloughing from the scabbed skin began at various times between day 7 and day 12 and was completed before test termination. Low body weight gains or loss of bodyweight were recorded for one male and three female rats on day 8. Two of the same females and a third female rat also showed low body weight gains between days 8 and 15. Finally, at necropsy, all terminal autopsy findings were normal.

Based on the results and in accordance with OECD guideline 402 the LD50 value was determined to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, classification for acute dermal toxicity according to the CLP regulation 1272/2008 is not warranted.
