Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: ten to fourteen weeks of age
- Weight at study initiation: males: 223 - 241 g; females: 201 - 226 g
- Housing: housed in suspended polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes; housed individually during the 24-hour exposure period and in groups of five, by sex, for the remainder of the study.
- Diet (ad libitum): Rat and Mouse Expanded Diet No. 1
- Water (ad libitum): mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: at least five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 - 23°C
- Relative humidity: 43 - 57 %.
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 15 changes/hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: on the day before treatment the back and flanks were clipped free of hair (approx. 5 cm x 4 cm)
- % coverage: approx. 10 % of the total body surface area was treated with the test substance
- Type of wrap: piece of surgical gauze (7 cm x 4 cm) was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. The bandage was further secured with a piece of BLENDERM wrapped around each end.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove any residual test material
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males / 5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations and weighing:
death or overt signs of toxicity: 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days
dermal reactions: after removal of the dressing and subsequently once daily for the remainder of the study
individual body weights: prior to application on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14

- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the study the animals were sacrificed and subjected to gross pathological examination.

Statistics:

Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was made.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

LD50 (male and female rats) > 2000 mg/kg bw
According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance is not acutely toxic via the dermal route.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the substance was investigated according to the OECD guideline 402 (1981). The substance was applied to clipped skin of five male and five female Sprague-Dawley rats at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The application site was exposed for 24 hours and the test sites were cleaned using a cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove any residual test substance. Clinical signs, mortality, dermal reactions and body weight were recorded during the 14 day observation period. All animals were subjected to necropsy at the end of the study.

No mortality occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. No signs of skin irritation were noted during the study. Furthermore, all animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Thus, the LD50 was considered to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw for male and female rats. According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the test item is not acutely toxic via the dermal route.
