Type of coverage:

Details on dermal exposure:

Preparation of the Animals:
The animals were marked for individual identification by tail painting.
Approximately 24 hours before the test, the fur was removed from the dorsal area of the trunk using an electric clipper.
Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin, and only animals with healthy intact skin were used.
No less than 10% of the body surface was cleared for the application.
Prior to the application a detailed clinical observation was made of all animals.
Application:
The test item was applied at a single dose, uniformly over an area which was approximately 10% of the total body surface.
The test item was held in contact with the skin by a dressing throughout a 24-hour period.
The dressing consisted of a gauze-dressing and non-irritating tape and was fixed with an additional dressing in a suitable manner.

Duration of exposure:

The test item was held in contact with the skin throughout a 24-hour period.
At the end of the exposure period the residual test item was removed using
aqua ad injectionem (Berlin Chemie, lot no. 0195A191, expiry date: 04/2013).

Doses:

The test item was applied at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight to each animal.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 male and 5 female

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

Observation period:
All animals were observed for 14 days after dosing

Weight Assessment:
The animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to the application) and on days 8 and 15.

Clinical Examination:
careful clinical examination was made several times on the day of dosing (at least once during the first 30 minutes and with special attention given during the first 4 hours post-dose). As soon as symptoms were noticed they were recorded. Thereafter, the animals were observed for clinical signs once daily until the end of the observation period. All abnormalities were recorded.
Cageside observations included changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes. Also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern were examined. Attention was directed to observations of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.

Pathology:
At the end of the observation period the surviving animals were sacrificed with an overdosage of pentobarbital injected intraperitoneally (Narcoren®, Merial) at the dosage of approximately 8 mL/kg bw. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. All gross pathological changes were recorded and in case of findings the tissues were preserved for a possible histopathological evaluation. The preserved tissues of which no histopathological evaluation was made will be discarded 3 months after the release of the final report unless otherwise agreed upon with the sponsor.

Evaluation of Results:
Individual reactions of each animal were recorded at each time of observation.
Toxic response data were recorded by sex and dose level.
Nature, severity and duration of clinical observations were described.
The body weight changes were summarised in a tabular form.
Necropsy findings were described.

Additional information

The acute toxicity of the registered substance was assessed in female rats via oral route and in female/male rats via dermal route.

The acute oral toxicity of the substance was tested by oral gavage of 25% solution in sesame oil to 10 female wistar rats per dose (1000 + 2000 mg/kg bw). At low dose 1/10 and at high dose 10/10 animals died within 1-5h after application. Therefore, the LD50 was determined to be in the range of 1000 -2000 mg/kg bw.

The acute dermal toxicity of the substance was tested by application of the test item to female and male rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed during the study. No treatment related clinical signs were observed. Therefore, the dermal LD50 was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, the registered substance was classified as R22 and Cat. 4 with hazard statement of H302: Harmful if swallowed, according to the criteria laid down in the EU Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) and in the EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
