- Fasting period before study: no data
- Housing: single housing in polycarbonate cages
- Diet: standard pelleted laboratory animal diet (from Carfil Quality BVBA, Out-Turnhout, Belgium), ad libitum
- Water: Tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 18 cm² for females, 25 cm² for males
- % coverage: 10%
- Type of wrap if used: surgical gauze patch covered with aluminium foil and Coban flexible bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: removal of the test substance and cleaning of residues with water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 2.17 mL/kg bw (equivalent to 2457 mg/kg bw, calculated with a density of 1.13 g/cm³)
- Concentration: undiluted
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
Duration of exposure:
24 h

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted in compliance with OECD 402 and in accordance with GLP (reliability score 1), there were no mortality or other adverse effects observed at 2457 mg/kg bw. (24 hour exposure) (LD0 and LD50 > 2457 mg/kg bw).
