Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity)
Deviations:
not applicable
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: Male and female rats were exposed to the test item in peanut oil DAB 7 (1:1). The treatment was applied to shaved skin and kept under occlusion for 24 hours. The treated area was then washed with water and rats were observed for 14 days.
- Short description of test conditions: Experimental conditions were maintained at 23 to 33 °C with 45 to 75 % relative humidity. Five male and five females rats were used per treatment and control. Animals were individually caged and provided with food and water ad libitum.
- Parameters analysed / observed: Mortality, intoxication symptoms, local changes, body weight
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
standard acute method
Limit test:
yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 in rats was determined to be > 10000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test item was determined in a 14 -day limit test. A nominal concentration of 10 g/kg bodyweight test item in peanut oil DAB 7 (1:1) was applied to a 6 x 6 cm area of shaved skin of male and female Wistar-AF/HAN-EMD-SPF rats. A vehicle control was included in the study. The treated area was occluded for 24 hours, after which substance residues were washed off with water. Rats were observed for mortality, intoxication, local changes and body weight. The LD50 was determined to be > 10 g/kg bw. There were no signs of absorptive intoxication, symptoms of irritation or pathoanatomical abnormalities. All rats lost weight in the first two days after application, however weight gain was continuous thereafter. This study is considered reliable with restriction (Klimisch 2) as the test was conducted similar to OECD Guideline 402, with minor limitations in reporting.
