Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The study was performed according to the OECD TG402 without deviations and therefore considered to be of the highest quality (reliability Klimisch 1).The test material did not induce any signs of acute dermal toxicity. The test material was considered to be not toxic via the dermal exposure route under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The item Nicotinsäurepentylester HF was applied onto the intact skin of 10 Sprague Dawley rats (5 males and 5 females) at the single dose of 10000 mg/kg body weight according to the experimental protocol established on the basis of the official method as defined in the O.E.C.D. guideline. N° 402 dated February 24th, 1987 and the test method B.3 of the directive. N° 92/69/EEC dated December 29th, 1992.

No mortality occurred during the study. Neither systemic nor cutaneous clinical signs related to the administration of the test item were observed. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study, similar between treated and control animals. The macroscopical examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment-related changes.

In conclusion, the LD50 of the item Nicotinsäurepentylester HF is higher than 10000 mg/kg body weight by dermal route in the rat.

According to the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations in accordance with the E.E.C. Directives 67/548, 2001/59 and 99/45, the item Nicotinsäurepentylester HF must not be classified.
