- Animal Information
Female Wistar (RccHan™:WIST) strain rats were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant. After an acclimatization period of at least 5 days the animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink-marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card. At the start of the study the animals were 8 to 12 weeks of age. The body weight variation did not exceed ±20% of the mean body weight of any previously treated animals.
Animal Care and Husbandry
The animals were housed in groups of up to four in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. With the exception of an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately 3 to 4 hours after dosing, free access to mains drinking water and food (2014C Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analyzed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give 12 hours continuous light and 12 hours darkness.
The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study. - Route of administration:

- Test Item Preparation and Analysis
For the purpose of the study the test item was used undiluted as supplied. The specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.

- Control animals:

- Details on study design:
- Study Design
Based on available data regarding the toxicity of the test item, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.
A single animal was treated at 2000 mg/kg.
In the absence of toxicity at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional group of animals were treated at 2000 mg/kg.
A total of five animals were therefore treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg in the study.
All animals were dosed once only by gavage, using a metal cannula attached to a graduated syringe. The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to the fasted body weight at the time of dosing. Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each dose group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.
Clinical observations were made 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 4 hours after dosing and then daily for up to 14 days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily, early and late during normal working days, and once daily at weekends and public holidays.
Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14 or at death.
At the end of the observation period the surviving animals were killed by cervical dislocation. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. This consisted of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained. - Key result

Introduction
The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.
Methods
Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of the undiluted test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
Results
Mortality. One animal was found dead one day after dosing.
Clinical Observations. Signs of systemic toxicity noted in three of the additional four treated females were lethargy, hunched posture, pilo-erection and ataxia. The initial treated animal appeared normal throughout the observation period and surviving animals appeared normal four days after dosing.
Body Weight. Surviving animals showed expected gains in body weight.
Necropsy. Abnormalities noted at necropsy of the animal that was found dead during the study were hemorrhagic lungs, dark liver, dark spleen, dark kidneys and hemorrhagic gastric mucosa. No abnormalities were noted at the necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study.
Conclusion
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight (Globally Harmonized Classification System − Category 5).

- TEST SITE
On the day before treatment the back and flanks of each animal were clipped free of hair. The calculated volume of test item, as received, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area) using a graduated syringe. A piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi occluded with a piece of self adhesive bandage. Shortly after dosing the dressings were examined to ensure that they were securely in place.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After the 24 Hour contact period the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with arachis oil BP to remove any residual test item.

-The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Due to a technician error, the Day 8 observations (clinical and dermal) for animals 2-0 and 2-1 were not performed. This was considered not to affect the purpose or integrity of the study as no evidence of dermal irritation or signs of toxicity were observed throughout the observation period pre or post Day 8.
After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for 14 days, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation. - Key result

Introduction
The study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat.
Methods
Initially, one female animal was given a single, 24 hour, semi‑occluded dermal application of the undiluted test item to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on the results of the initial test, a further two female animals were similarly treated. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
Results
Mortality. There were no deaths.
Clinical Observations. There were no signs of systemic toxicity.
Dermal Irritation. There were no signs of dermal irritation.
Body Weight. All animals showed expected gains in body weight.
Necropsy. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
Conclusion
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP criteria the test item is not classified for acute toxicity by oral exposure as the LD50 is >2000mg/kg
According to the CLP criteria the test item is not classified for acute toxicity by dermal exposure as the LD50 is >2000mg/kg
The acute inhalation study was waived as vapour pressure indicates low volatilty. Therefore the test item is not classified for acute toxicity by inhalation as exposure is not expected via this route.
