Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Under the test conditions, the test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In a limit acute dermal toxicity study performed according to the OECD guideline No. 402 and in compliance with GLP, groups of young adult Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex) were semi-occlusively exposed to undiluted test material for 24 hours at dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs including dermal reactions and body weight for 14 days and then necropsied for macroscopic observations.

There were no death, no signs of systemic toxicity and no signs of dermal irritation. All animals showed expected bodyweight gains during the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Dermal LD50 Combined > 2000 mg/kg bw

Under the test conditions, the test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute dermal toxicity endpoint.
