Details on dermal exposure:
Four rabbits, two per sex were used for this study. Approximately 24 hours before the test, the hair of the trunk was removed with the help of electric clippers, to expose 10% of the body surface. The test material in the amount of 5 g/kg or 5.0 ml/kg was applied on the skin site.

The test material was held in contact with the skin with a porous gauze and a non-irritating adhesive tape throughout the 24 hour exposure period. The animals were housed singly and were restrained with a plastic collar around their neck for 24 hours, in order to avoid the ingestion of the test material and to ensure that the test subsance does not get removed for at least 24 hours. At the end of the exposure period, residual test materia.l was removed using water.
Duration of exposure:
Test substance was applied once and left for 24 hours, followed by removal with water.
Doses:
Single dose of 5 g/kg or 5.0 ml/kg was applied to the testing area.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Two males and two females at 5 g/kg or 5.0 ml/kg.

Executive summary:

Summary:

The objective of the study now reported was to determine the acute dermal toxicity of Galaxy Sunbeat MM-30 in rabbits, following the Gaitonde Committee Protocol.

The test material was applied to the 10% surface area in four rabbits, two per sex, at the limit dose (5 ml/kg or 5 g/kg). All the animals were observed for clinical signs upto 14 days after treatment.

The test material did not cause any clinical signs of intoxication in the treated animals. There was no erythema or oedema to the skin in all the rabbits during and till the end of the study.

The LD50 value of Galaxy Sunbetaine-MM-30 in rabbits by the dermal route was found to be greater than 5.00 ml/kg.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The LD50 value of "Galaxy-Sunbeat (S-382)" according to the Gaitonde Commitee Guidelines, in albino mice by the oral route, following the methods of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949) was found to be greater than 5.0 ml/kg (5000 mg/kg bw).

The objective of the study reported was to determine the acute dermal toxicity of Galaxy Sunbeat MM-30 in rabbits, following the Gaitonde Committee Protocol.

The LD50 value of the test material GALAXY-SUNBETAINE-MM-30 according to the Gaitonde Commitee Guidelines, in rabbits by the dermal route

was found to be greater than 5.00 ml/kg (5000 mg/kg bw).

Based on the results of both studies, the test material is not considered to be classified by either the oral or dermal route.
