Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

other: arachis oil BP

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: backs and flanks
- % coverage: approximately 10%
- Type of wrap if used: a piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the treated skin and surrounding hair were wiped with cotton wool moistened with arachis oil BP to remove any residual test item.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

Duration of exposure:

24 h

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

other: not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed for clinical signs at 30 min, 1, 2 and 4 h after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were determined on Day 0, 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, evaluation of dermal reactions using the Draize scoring system.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred during the study period.

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 14-day observation period.

Gross pathology:

Necropsy revealed no substance-related findings.

Other findings:

- Other observations: very slight erythema (Draize scoring value: 1) was noted at the test sites of 7/10 animals being fully reversible within 5 days. No edema formation was observed in any animal. Crust formation was also noted at the test site of one female being reversible within 9 days. There were no signs of dermal irritation noted at the test sites of the remaining animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
