Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Not performed
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
4/10 rabbits (3 male/1 female) died by Day 5 of the post-administration period. The remaining rabbits dosed with the test material survived until Day 14 of the post-administration period.
Clinical signs:
other: Pharmacotoxic observations were limited to the skin at the application sites and included oedema, erythema, chemical burns, scar tissue, coriaceousness and eschar. Effects were reversible by the 14 day observation period in only two animals (1 male/1 fema
Gross pathology:
External observations: severe tissue damage and necrosis
Internal observations: stomach devoid of contents.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal administration of the test material (2 g/kg bw) resulted in an LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In this study, performed in accordance with OECD TG 402 under GLP, the substance, moistened with water, was applied to the shaved skin of rabbits (five/sex) at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw under occlusive conditions for 24 hours. Four animals died during the 14-day observation period. No treatment related effects were noted on bodyweight gain in the remaining animals. Observations noted during the study were limited to the skin at the application sites and included erythema, edema, chemical burns, scar tissue, coriaceousness and eschar. At necropsy external observations included severe tissue damage and necrosis of skin at the application site of all four animals that died prematurely and scar tissue/scar tissue and eschar in four of the surviving animals. Two animals showed no external changes. Internally, two of the animals that died prematurely had empty stomachs. The remaining animals showed no gross internal changes. The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the substance is not classified for acute toxicity by the dermal route.
