- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours dark / 12 hours light.
Administration / exposure
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on dermal exposure:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Backs and flanks of each animal, prepared by clipping free of hair the day before exposure.
- % coverage: 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: After the 24 hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with arachis oil BP to remove any residual test material.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours after exposure.
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 1.93 mL/kg
TEST PROCEDURE
- Initially one male and one female were tested to assess the toxicity of the test material. Animals were dosed in the same manner as the other test animals. No mortalities were observed so the remaining animals were dosed. The results were combined for evaluation. - Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 males and 5 females.
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 days. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on day 0 and on days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes (external examination and opening the abdomen and thoracic cavities to check for any macroscopic abnormalities).
- Other examinations performed: Following removal of the test material the test sites were examined for evidence of primary skin irritation and scored according to Draize (1977) (See "Any other information on materials and methods"), any other skin reactions, if present were also recorded.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- other: There were no deaths and no signs of overt toxicity.
- Mortality:
- There were no deaths.
- Clinical signs:
- other: There were no signs of systemic toxicity.
- Gross pathology:
- A cavity was noted in the right kidney of one male but this was considered to be a genetic defect and not related to treatment with the test material. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of the remaining animals.
- Other findings:
- Dermal irritation: There were no signs of dermal irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the acute dermal LD50 was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity of the test material was determined in a study conducted in compliance with standardised guidelines OECD 402 and EU Method B.3. During the study, two animals (one male and one female) were given a single, 24 -hour semi-occluded dermal application of the undiluted test material to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Based on the results of the initial test, a further group of four males and four females was similarly treated. Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
Under the conditions of the study, there were no deaths or overt signs of systemic toxicity. There were no signs of dermal irritation and all animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period. At necropsy a cavity was noted in the right kidney of one male but this was considered to be a genetic defect and not related to treatment with the test material. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of the remaining animals. In consideration of these findings the LD50 was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
