Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Females nulliparous and non-pregnant: Yes
- Age at study initiation: 8 to 12 weeks of age
- Weight at study initiation: Weight ranged between 202 - 247 g. The weight variation did not exceed ±20 % of the mean weight for each sex.
- Housing: The animals were housed in suspended solid floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. The animals were housed individually during the 24-Hour exposure period and in groups of five, by sex, for the remainder of the study.
- Diet: Ad libitum
- Water: Ad libitum
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 to 25 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 to 70 %
- Air changes (per hr): At least fifteen changes per hour.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST MATERIAL PREPARATION
For the purpose of the study the test item was weighed out according to each animal's individual body weight and moistened with arachis oil BP prior to application.

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The back and flanks of each animal.
- % coverage: Applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10 % of the total body surface area)
- Type of wrap if used: A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. The dressings were examined to ensure that they were securely in place shortly after dosing.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): After the 24-Hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with arachis oil BP to remove any residual test item.

TEST MATERIAL
- For solids, paste formed: The appropriate amount of test item was applied moistened with arachis oil BP.

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Five male and five female rats.

Control animals:

not specified

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to application of the test item on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes. At the end of the study the animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test material was assessed in the Wistar strain rat in accordance with the standardized guidelines OECD 402 and EU Method B.3 under GLP conditions.

A limit test was conducted to assess the potential of the test material to cause acute dermal toxicity in the Wistar strain rat. A group of ten animals (five males and five females) were given a single, 24 hour, semi-occluded dermal application of the test item to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.

There were no deaths or signs of systemic toxicity associated with the test material.

Signs of dermal irritation were very slight to well-defined erythema, very slight to slight oedema, haemorrhage of dermal capillaries, light brown discoloration of the epidermis, crust formation, loss of skin elasticity and flexibility, hardened light brown coloured scab, scab cracking, scab lifting to reveal glossy skin, moderate desquamation and glossy skin. Animals showed expected gains in body weight, except for one female which showed no gain in body weight during the first week but expected gain in body weight during the second week.

No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
