- Executive summary:
Guideline
A study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test material in the Wistar strain rat. The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 402 "Acute Dermal Toxicity" (adopted 24
February 1987) and Method 83 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
Method
A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single 24-hour, semioccluded dermal application to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of treatment and were then
killed for gross pathological examination.
Results
There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. No signs of irritation noted during the study.
All animals showed expected bodyweight gain during the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Additional information
Oral
A key study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material in the Sherman-Wistar strain rat. Five groups of 5 male fasted animals was given a single oral dose of test material as a solution in Corn Oil at dose levels of 2.0 mL/kg, 4.0 mL/kg, 8.0 mL/kg, 16.0 mL/kg and 32.0 mL/kg The animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of dosing. There were no deaths. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sherman-Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 32 mL/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 8 g/kg).
Inhalation
According to REACH Annex XIII Section 8.5 information on acute toxicity will be provided for at least one other route in addition to the oral route. The choice for the second route will depend on the nature of the substance and the likely route of human exposure. The substance is a waxy solid with a vapour pressure of 0.323 Pa at 25°C and, based on evaluation of the life cycle of the substance, it is concluded that inhalation exposure will be low and that the most likely route of exposure for workers and consumers is the dermal route. Testing for acute toxicity via the inhalation route is, therefore, not required.
Dermal
A study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test material in the Wistar strain rat. The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 402 "Acute Dermal Toxicity" (adopted 24 February 1987) and Method 83 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single 24-hour, semioccluded dermal application to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of treatment and were then
killed for gross pathological examination.
There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. No signs of irritation noted during the study. All animals showed expected bodyweight gain during the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Pre-GLP study providing acceptable description of experimental conditions.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
GLP guideline study
Justification for classification or non-classification
The data showed no evidence of acute toxicity by either the oral or dermal route. The substance is not classified for acute toxicity.
