- % coverage: ca 10 % of body surface
- Type of wrap if used: semiocclusive gauze + adhesive tape

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, with water
- Time after start of exposure: at end of exposure

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg
- Concentration (if solution): 100 %

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were weighed on days 1 (prior to application), 8 and 15. A clinical examination was made several time of the day of dosing; thereafter, animals were observed daily.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

None of the animals died during the study.

Clinical signs:

other: No signs of toxicity were noted during the study.

Gross pathology:

Male 21 had a yellow spot on the epididymides. Male 22 had granulated Peyer' patches. these were considered incidental findings and were not considered to be related to treatment with the test material. No specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any other animals.

Other findings:

No erythema or oedema was noted on any animal during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study the acute dermal LD50 of the test material was determined to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 402, EU Method B.3 and EPA OPPTS 870.1200.

During the study, five male and five female rats received semi-occlusive dermal applications of 2000 mg/kg bw of test material. The exposure duration was 24 hours. The animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes and local reactions for 14 days after which time they were sacrificed and subjected to gross necropsy.

Under the conditions of the study, none of the animals died, no clinical signs were observed and the body weight development of all male and female animals was within the expected range. Male 21 had a yellow spot on the epididymides. Male 22 had granulated Peyer' patches. These were considered incidental findings and were not considered to be related to treatment with the test material. No specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any other animals. No erythema or oedema was noted on any animal during the study.

It was therefore concluded that the acute dermal LD50 of the test material is in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw.
