Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the results of this study, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw,

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test) following OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, young adult Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally treated with a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the undiluted test item to the clipped skin (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk) and covered by semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The application area comprised at least 10% of the total body surface area. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed. The following test item-related local effects were recorded during the course of the study: very slight to moderate erythema (grade 1 to 3), very slight to slight edema (grade 1 to 2), incrustations and scaling. The mean body weight of the animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals examined at the end of the study. Accordingly, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
