Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal surfaces of the trunk
- % coverage: 10 %
- Type of wrap if used: A patch of surgical gauze covered by a strip of synthetic film was placed over the treated site and the whole assembly held in place by encyrcling the trunk of the animal with a lenght of elastic adhesive bandage.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, by gentle swabbing of the skin with cotton wool soaked with lukewarm water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours


TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): Aliquots were weighed accordingly to the body weight of each animal measured prior to dosing, no further details mentioned
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality and morbidity twice daily, clinical signs were recorded on dosing, approx. 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and daily thereafter, body weights were recorded on the day of allocation (day -1), days 1, 8 and 15 (day of necropsy)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
no mortality occurred
Clinical signs:
other: no clinical signs were observed
Gross pathology:
At necropsy examination performed on all animals at termination of the study red areas (multiple, pinpoint) in the right lobe of the thymus were noted in a single female animal. No abnormalities were found in the ranimnif animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute toxicity of 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat at 2000 mg/kg.
No mortality occurred following dosing and no signs of toxicity were observed.
These results indicated that the test item has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a 24 hour period at a level of 2000 mg/kg. The lack of mortality demonstrated the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed decyl and octyl triesters was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat at 2000 mg/kg according to OECD guideline 402, adopted on 24 February 1987 and Test method B.3 "Acute Toxicity (dermal)" described in Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.

A single dose of 2000 mg/kg was administered to a group o 5 male and 5 female animals for 24 hours. After 14 days all animals were killed and subjected to necropsy examination. No mortality occurred following dosing and no signs of toxicity were observed. The body weight changes observed during the study were within the expected range for this species and age of animals. No significant abnormalities were found at necropsy in the animals at termination of the study. No abnormalities were observed at the treated site.

These results indicated that the test item has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a 24 hour period at a level of 2000 mg/kg.

The lack of mortality demonstrated the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
