Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOEL level based on dermal irritation was 0.0001 ml/kg and a NOEL of 0.5 ml/kg was calculated for systemic toxicity.
Executive summary:

In a repeated dose oral toxicity study Naval distillate was administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats at dose levels of 0.0001, 0.005, and 0.5 mL/kg were administered 5 days/week over a 4 week period.

The test material produced slight dermal irritation at a dose of 0.005 mL/kg and severe irritation at a dose of 0.50 mL/kg as evidenced by grossly visible dermal irritation and microscopic changes in the skin. A dose-dependent decrease in mean trglyceride was noted in males at a dose of 0.50 mL/kg. No other treatment related effects were observed in any of the parameters evaluated. No treatment-related effects were noted in examination of the weight and histopathology of testes and ovaries.

The NOEL level based on dermal irritation was 0.0001 mL/kg and a NOEL of 0.5 mL/kg was calculated for systemic toxicity.

This study received a Klimisch score of two and is classified as reliable with restriction because it is an acceptable and a well-documented study report.
