Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance after dermal application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test), 5 male and 5 female young adult Wistar rats per group were dermally exposed to test groups of 2000 and 500 mg/kg bw of 1,4-butanediylbis[oxy(2-hydroxy-3,1-propanediyl)] diacrylate (undiluted or preparation in olive oil) to the clipped skin (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk) and covered by semiocclusive dressing for 24 hours. During the 14 day observation period, no mortality occured and no signs for systemic toxicity were recorded. Slight to moderate erythema (grade 1 to 3) were noted, and incrustations occured in females exposed to 2000 mg/kg bw. The mean body weight of the animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted. Accordingly, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
