Principles of method if other than guideline:
The acute percutaneous toxicity of BCI-MX was investigated in a group of 5 male and 5 female CD rats. The test material was applied to the closely-clipped dorsum of each animal at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg bw, and was covered by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Mortality and systemic or local signs of reaction to treatment were recorded during a subsequent 14-day period of observation. The animals were killed on the following day and subjected to necropsy.

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was evaluated in a GLP-compliant study (limit test) on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats according to OECD TG 401. The acute oral LD50 was determined with > 2000 mg/kg bw. As clinical sign piloerection was observed on the day of treatment only.

An acute dermal toxicity study (limit test) was performed on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats according to OECD TG 402. No mortalities, clinical signs or local effects were observed during the 14 -day observation period. The resulting dermal LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw.


Justification for classification or non-classification

The acute oral and dermal toxicity was proven to be low with LD50 values of > 2000 mg/kg.

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.
