Details on dermal exposure:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

TEST SITE

- % coverage: approximating to 10% of the total body surface area.
- Type of wrap if used: Surgical gauze and self-adhesive bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 174 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: The dose 2174 mg/kg is equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material
Mortality:
There were no deaths.
Clinical signs:
other: No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at the treatment sites of all animals one and two days after dosing, in nine animals three days after dosing and in four animals four days after dosi
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
Other findings:
Residual test material was noted at the treatment sites of all animals during the study and prevented accurate evaluation of oedema in two males one to five days after dosing.
One female showed body weight loss during the first week andd expected gain in body weight during the second week. All other animlas showed normal body weights.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2174 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material).
Executive summary:

The Acute Dermal Toxicity assay for the test substance was performed in Sprague-Dawley CD rats. One female group and one male group, of 5 animals each one, were treated with a single dose of 2174 mg/kg bodyweight, equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material (Limit test). The test material was applied uniformly to an area of shorn skin (approximating to 10% of the total body surface area). A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage. After the 24-hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water. Clinical observation was conducted at 1/2,1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Body weight was controlled before the administration, on day 0 and on days 7 and 14 after the administration. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. No test substance related effects were noted from clinical observations or post-mortem examination. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2174 mg/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2000 mg/kg bodyweight of pure test material).
