Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

In an acute dermal toxicity test (only 1 dose, limit test), diisotridecyl adipate did not cause any mortality at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. Diisotridecyl adipate is not to be classified according to EU regulations.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of diisotridecyl adipate was determined in 10 New Zealand White rabbits each receiving a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw of test substance (limit test). The exposure time was 24 hours followed by an observation period of 14 days. Before application of test substance, the clipped skin of half of the test animals was abraded. At the end of the exposure period, the skin was cleansed.

 

No mortality was observed during the test. Two animals showed signs of emaciation. Other clinical observations were diarrhea (4 animals), and in single animals lethargy and bloated abdomen. Body weight development was below normal.

 

The acute dermal LD50 was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw in rats (Moreno/Mobil 1978b).

 

Overall, the study was conducted similar to OECD test guideline 402 with some restrictions (abdominal area as test site, abrasion of skin prior to test substance application, occlusive wrapping, limited reporting).
