Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Animal Breeding Facility, JRF
- Age at study initiation: 9-15 weeks
- Weight at study initiation (g): Males: Min. 281.3 and Max. 297.8; Females: Min. 234.7 and Max. 249.6
- Housing: Polypropylene rat cages with stainless steel grid tops. Bedding was autoclaved clean rice husk. Rats were group-housed during acclimatisation, and individually housed following test item application. After patch removal following 24 hrs exposure, rats were housed 2 to 3 rats/cage, according to group and sex. Animal room was cleaned daily.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Teklad certified Global High Fiber Rat/Mice Feed manufactured by Harlan, U.S.A.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): UV sterilized water filtered through Kent Reverse Osmosis water filtration system.
- Acclimation period: 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 to 23
- Humidity (%): 65 to 67 (relative humidity)
- Air changes (per hr): Minimum 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12 (light hours: 06:00 h - 18:00 h)

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 20 March 2014 to 10 April 2014

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Approximately 7x5 cm body surface area
- % coverage: >10% body surface was clipped 24 hours prior to test substance application
-Type of wrap: Porous gauze dressing and non-irritating tape

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Residual test item was removed using cotton soaked in distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 2000 mg/kg body weight (undiluted)

Duration of exposure:

24 hour

Doses:

Limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (undiluted)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males and 5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Toxicity and mortality were observed 1, 2, 3 and 5h post-dermal application on day 0. Morbidity and mortality were observed twice daily for 14 days
- Clinical signs were recorded once daily
- Individual body weight: Prior to dermal application on day 0 and on days 7 and 14 post-application.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose, LD50 of reaction products of N-(2-aminoethyl)-N’-{2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethyl}ethane-1,2-diamine, N-(2-aminoethyl)-N’-[2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]ethane-1,2-diamine,N-{2-[4-(2-aminoethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethyl}ethane-1,2-diamine,N,N,N’-tris(2-aminoethyl) ethane-1,2-diamine, carbon disulphide and sodium hydroxide in Wistar rats was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on the results, an indication of the classification is Category 5 or Unclassified.
