Details on dermal exposure:

TEST ITEM FORMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL PREPARATION
- An effective dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight administered under a volume of 2.15 mL/kg body weight (corresponding to 2g/kg, according to the calculated density), during 24 hours.

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back and flank area
- % coverage: The appropriate amount of test item, moistened with liquid paraffin, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area).
- 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 (if done): no data
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg bw
- Constant volume or concentration used: Yes

Duration of exposure:

24 h

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for mortality or clinical signs of toxicity at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on Day 0 and on Days 2, 7 and 14.
- After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for fourteen days, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scale.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes; at the end of the study animals were anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbital and administration continued to fatal levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the dermal LD50 Combined for test substance is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. Therefore, the substance is not classified according to the annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (limit test) performed according to OECD Guideline No. 402 and in compliance with GLP, a group of Sprague Dawley rats (5/sex) was given a single dermal application of the test material to intact skin of the back and flank area at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 h. Animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days and at the end of the study the surviving animals were sacrificed for macroscopic examination. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24 h after removal of the dressings and then daily for 14 days. 

No mortality or systemic toxicity was observed. Cutaneous reactions (erythema) were noted from 24 hours post-dose in all animals and were totally reversible on day 2 in males and on day 8 in females. Dryness was noted on day 3 in all females and was totally reversible between days 5 and 8. All animals showed gains in body weight over the observation period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

 

Dermal LD50 Combined > 2000 mg/kg bw

 

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified according to the annex I of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS. 

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute dermal toxicity endpoint.
