Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: A. Tuck & Sons Ltd., Battlesbridge, Essex
- Age at study initiation: ca. 6-8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 235-260g (males), 212-231g (females)
- Housing: The rats were randomly allocated to cages within treatment groups. They were housed individually during the 24 hour exposure period and in groups of five for the remainder of the study in polypropylene cages with sawdust bedding.
- Diet: standard laboratory rodent diet, ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: minimum of 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/-3
- Humidity (%): 65-75%RH
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: the trunk
- Type of wrap if used: The trunk of the rat was encircled with a strip of elastic adhesive bandage 7.5cm wide and 25-30cm long, backed with aluminium foil. The bandage was tightened sufficently to prevent the animal from wriggling free and wrapped round to form a double layer.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The skin and surrounding hair were sponged thoroughly with warm water and rinsed and dried using absorbent paper, after the removal of the bandage and foil.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10ml/kg
- Concentration (if solution): undiluted


Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
10ml/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5M, 5F
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours following dosing. On subsequent days animals were observed at least once. Mortalities and evidence of overt toxicity were recorded at each observation. Individual bodyweights were recorded on days 0, 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other: The macroscopic appearance of abnormal organs were recorded.
Statistics:
Using the mortality data, an assessment of the acute percutaneous median lethal dose of the test material was made.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of >10 ml/kg in rat was reported in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate protocol and in compliance with GLP. The equivalent LD50 value for the active acid based on this value is >2.5 ml/kg. The estimated LD50 for the active acid is therefore >3250 mg/kg. The result is read across from HMDTMP sodium salt (CAS 56744-47-9).
