Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 of the test item was higher than 2000 mg/kg in rats.
Therefore, the test item is not classified as toxic by dermal route according to the criteria of CLP Regulation.
Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential toxicity of the test item following a single dermal application to rats.

This study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice and accoding to OECD guideline 402.

The test item was applied in its original form to the skin of five female then five male Sprague-Dawley rats at the dose-level of 2000 mg/kg. The application site was covered by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours.

Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs for 15 days. From day 2, local reactions at the treatment site were also noted. Body weight was recorded on day 1 and then on days 8 and 15.

On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed and a full macroscopic post-mortem examination was performed. Macroscopic lesions were preserved.

There were no unscheduled deaths during the study and no clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed in any animal.

No cutaneous reactions were observed in males.Very slight erythema was recorded at the application site of all females during from day 2 until days 3, 4 or 5. Lower body weight gain was recorded in 2/5 females and 4/5 males. There were no test item-related macroscopic findings.

Conclusion

The dermal LD50of the test item was higher than 2000 mg/kg in rats.

Therefore, the test item is not classified as toxic by dermal route according to the criteria of CLP Regulation.
