no

Details on study design:

- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes

Statistics:

Not applicable (limit test, no mortality).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item after single dermal administration was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female RccHan:WIST rats.

Executive summary:

A single administration of the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (bw) was applied dermally to 5 male and 5 female RccHan:WIST rats, followed by a 14-day observation period. The test item was applied as supplied. The application period was 24 hours. Clinical observations along with a check of viability and mortality were performed on all animals at 1 and 5 hours after dosing and daily for 14 days thereafter. Body weight was measured prior to dosing on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14. Rats were killed and subjected to a gross macroscopic examination at the end of the 2-week observation period (Day 14).

No mortality occurred during the 14-day observation period after a 24-hour dermal exposure test item to RccHan:WIST rats. No adverse clinical signs were observed after treatment with the test item or during the 14 day observation period. There were no treatment related effects on body weight or body weight gain during the observation period. There was no evidence of any treatment-related macroscopic findings at a dose level of of 2000 mg/kg bw at necropsy.

The acute median lethal dose (LD50) after a single dermal administration was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female RccHan:WIST rats.
