TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Ciba-Geigy Ltd., Animal production, 4332 Stein / Switzerland
- Weight at study initiation: 213-260 g
- Housing: individually in Macrolon cages type 3, with standard soft wood bedding (Societe Parisienne des Sciures, Pantin, France)
- Diet: rat diet (NAFAG 890 Tox, NAFAG, Gossau/SG, Switzerland), ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 2
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 10
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

water

Details on dermal exposure:

- Approximately 24 hours before treatment an area on the back of the rat of at least 10 % of the body surface was shaved with an electric clipper.
- The test substance (4ml/kg bw) was evenly dispersed on the skin. It was covered with a gauze-lined semiocclusive dressing fastened around the trunk with an adhesive elastic band. After 24 hours the dressing was removed and the skin was cleaned with lukewarm water. Thereafter the skin reaction was appraised repeatedly.

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality: daily; a.m. and p.m. on working days, a.m. on weekend days,
Signs and symptoms: daily for 14 days,
Body weight: immediately before administration and on days 7 and 14.
- Necropsies: gross necropsy at the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

Method

In a dermal toxicity study, performed according to OECD guideline 402, test substance was applied to Tif: RAI f (SPF) rats (5/sex) at dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The test substance was dissolved in water, applied on the skin and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The treated skin was washed after 24 hours and a 14 -day observation period followed.

Results

No mortality, no clinical signs and no abnormalities were found at necropsy. Therefore, the toxicity of the test substance was estimated to be >2000 mg/kg bw.
