- Weight at study initiation: 240-370 g (males) and 207-228 g (females)
- Housing: animals were housed individually during the exposure period and in groups of up to four, by sex, for the remainder of the study.
- Diet: 2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet (Harlan Laboratories UK Ltd., Oxon, UK), ad libitum

- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
other: arachis oil BP
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: backs and flanks
- % coverage: approximately 10%
- 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.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the treated skin and surrounding hair were wiped with cotton wool moistened with arachis oil BP to remove any residual test item.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h


Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
other: not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed for clinical signs at 30 min, 1, 2 and 4 h after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were determined on Day 0, 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, evaluation of dermal reactions using the Draize scoring system.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred during the study period.
Clinical signs:
other: No clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 14-day observation period.
Gross pathology:
Necropsy revealed no substance-related findings.
Other findings:
- Other observations: very slight erythema (Draize scoring value: 1) was noted at the test sites of 7/10 animals being fully reversible within 5 days. No edema formation was observed in any animal. Crust formation was also noted at the test site of one female being reversible within 9 days. There were no signs of dermal irritation noted at the test sites of the remaining animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
