- Details on study design:
- TREATMENT:
Prior to application of the test substance, one half (2) of the rabbits in each group received a series of abrasions with a sterile needle through the epidermis and two rabbits remained intact. The trunk of each rabbit was wrapped with an impervious material taped in place to form a reservoir over the test skin site. The test material was introduced onto the skin at the dose levels indicated below. During application, the rabbits were kept in a restrainer device and later were fitted with a collar to prevent ingesting the material and returned to their respective cage. Wrappings were removed after 24 hours and the test material was gently washed from the back.
OBSERVATIONS:
The rabbits were observed immediately after treatment, at four hours and daily for 14 days for signs of illness and mortality. Dermal reactions were scored daily for erythema and edema. Body weight was recorded at dosing and at 14 days for the survivors. Animals found dead or euthanized at 14 days were subjected to a macroscopic examination of the viscera. - Irritation parameter:

- Conclusions:
- In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted in rabbits, no signs of dermal irritation were observed.
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study similar to OECD 402, dimethylamine-borane was applied occlusively to the abraded and intact skin of New Zealand White rabbits at concentrations of 126, 158, 200, 251, 316 and 398 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Afterwards, the test material was washed off. The animals were observed for 14 days for clinical signs and mortality including a daily scoring for erythema and edema. Body weight was recorded at dosing and at the end of the study for the survivors. Animals found dead or euthanised at 14 days were subjected to a macroscopic examination of the viscera. The LD50 was calculated to be 210 mg/kg body weight with 95% confidence limits of 156 - 284 mg/kg bw. No macroscopic changes were noted at necropsy, which could be attributed to the test material at the highest dose levels. All four rabbits showed uneven pitted appearance in the cortex of the kidney at the lowest level. All surviving animals gained body weight during the course of the study. There were no significant signs of dermal irritation noted throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 3 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In this acute dermal toxicity study, the dermal LD50 value in rabbits after treatment with dimethylamine-borane was 210 mg/kg body weight.
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study similiar to OECD 402, groups of 4 New Zealand White rabbits (2 with intact, 2 with abraded skin) were dermally exposed to dimethylamine-borane for 24 hours at doses of 389, 316, 251, 200, 158 and 126 mg/kg body weight. Animals then were observed for 14 days. The dermal LD50 was determined to be 210 mg/kg bw. There were no treatment related clinical signs and necropsy findings. All surviving rabbits gained weight during the course of the study.
Based on this study, dimethylamine-borane is of slight toxicity. Based on the dermal LD50 of 210 mg/kg bw, the test item does warrant for classification as Acute Tox Cat. 3 according to CLP Criteria.
