Details on dermal exposure:

Based on the outcome in the range-finding test, two female animals were dosed approximately 48 hours later in the main test to confirm the classification outcome. The dose progression followed the Test Guideline OECD 402.

The amount of test item applied for each one of the animals is given in the table below:

Animal ID /Sex : 6620 Female; Body weight (g): 240; Applied amount (g): 0.48
Animal ID /Sex : 6621 Female; Body weight (g): 250; Applied amount (g): 0.50
Animal ID /Sex : 6622 Female; Body weight (g): 246; Applied amount (g): 0.49



The back of each animal was shaved (approximately 10% area of the total body surface) approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. The test item was applied to the shaved skin as a single dose and remained in contact with the skin for the
24-hour exposure period. Sterile gauze pads were placed on the skin of rats to cover the test item. These gauze pads were kept in contact with the skin using a patch with adhesive hypoallergenic plaster. The entire trunk of the animal was then wrapped with semi occlusive plastic wrap for 24 hours.

At the end of the exposure period, the treated area of skin with the test item was washed with water at body temperature.

Duration of exposure:

24H

OBSERVATIONS
1/ Clinical Observations
Animals were inspected for signs of morbidity and mortality twice daily. Clinical observations were performed on the day of treatment at 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 5 hours after application of the test item and once each day for 14 days thereafter. Observations included the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, the respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.

2/ Skin Irritation
Adverse skin reactions at the site of application were recorded daily following the removal of the dressing.

3/ Measurement of Body Weight
The body weights were recorded on Day 0 (before the test item administration) and on Days 7 and 14 (before necropsy).

NECROPSY
Macroscopic examination was performed on all animals. All animals were anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbital (details in 3.3) and exsanguinated. Following confirmation of death, after examination of the external appearance, the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities were opened and the appearance of the tissues and organs was observed. All macroscopic changes were recorded.

Skin tissue from the treatment area was saved in formalin for further investigation if needed for other studies (eg. skin irritation or skin corrosion study).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Executive summary:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of the test itemEthanol, 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)-, reaction products with phosphorus oxide (P2O5), compds. with N,N-dimethylcyclohexanaminewas found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight in female Crl:WI rats.

According to the GHS criteria,Ethanol, 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)-, reaction products with phosphorus oxide (P2O5), compds. with N,N-dimethylcyclohexanaminecan be ranked as "Category 5" for acute dermal exposure.
