- Weight at study initiation: males 206 to 232 g, and the females 214 to 225 g.
- Housing: in suspended polypropylene cages furnished with wood flakes. The animals were housed individually during the 24-hour exposure period and in groups of five, by sex, for the remainder of the study
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-25 ºC
- Humidity (%): 30-70 %
- Air changes (per hr): approximately fifteen changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): twelve hours continuous light and twelve hours darkness

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: approximating to 10% of the total body surface area.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove any residual test material.
- Time after start of exposure: After the 24-hour contact period

TEST MATERIAL
- Concentration (if solution): 2174 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material).

Duration of exposure:

24-hours

Doses:

2174 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material).

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Ten animals (five males and five females)

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity ½, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen 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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance in the Sprague-Dawley rat was found to be greater than 2174 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material). The test substance is not to be classified as acute dermal toxicant according to CLP Regulation.

Executive summary:

The Acute Dermal Toxicity assay for the test substance was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats. One female group and one male group, of 5 animals each one, were treated with a single dose of 2174 mg/kg bodyweight, equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material (Limit test). The test material was applied uniformly to an area of shorn skin (approximating to 10% of the total body surface area). A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. After the 24-hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water. Clinical observation was conducted at 1/2,1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Body weight was controlled before the administration, on day 0 and on days 7 and 14 after the administration. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. No test substance related effects were noted from clinical observations or post-mortem examination. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance in the Sprague-Dawley rat was found to be greater than 2174 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material).
