Remarks:
Well documented guideline study The chlorinated isocyanurates (sodium dichloroisocyanurate and sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate) produce free available chlorine, in the form of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as they dissolve in water. As the equilibria involve all of the possible chlorinated isocyanurates, the toxicity of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) and sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate (NaDCC.2H2O) will be virtually equivalent at the same available chlorine concentration. The parent compound for all chlorinated isocyanurates is isocyanuric acid (cyanuric acid). All of the chlorinated isocyanurates are essentially equivalent, once they are dissolved in water at the low concentrations at which they are used. Therefore read across from sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate to troclosene sodium is considered justified.

Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All of the rats were observed for mortality and signs of toxic and pharmalogic effects immediately after dosing, at one and four hours postdose, and once daily thereafter for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to treatment, on day 7 and at death or termination.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
The test material was applied to the skin of each rat at levles of 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred during the study. All rats appeared normal at 0, 1 and 4 hours postdose and on day 4. One male was noted as being slightly depressed on days 1, 2 and 3.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No deaths occured during the study
Clinical signs:
other: All rats appeared normal at zero and one hour postdose. Slight depression was noted in all rats at four hours postdose and on days 1 and 2; persisting in one or more rats to day 7. All rats appeared normal by day 8.
