Toxicological information

Repeated dose toxicity: dermal

Administrative data

Endpoint:
sub-chronic toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study was done with a formulation having a different composition (70% Chloroacetamide; 30% sodium benzoate), however it was considered reliable, adequate and relevant for classification and local DNEL calculation. As there is no clinical biochemistry and only limited histopathology, the study cannot be used for systemic DNELs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The dermal “no-effect” level of CA 24 in male adult rats is 50 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In a 13 weeks dermal toxicity repeated dose study, Konservierungsmittel CA 24 was applied to the shaved backs of male adult Wistar-rats, at doses of 12.5 and 50.0 mg/kg in Lanette or Aqua dest. Neither test dependent or substance specific changes were observed in the growth parameters and histomorphological examinations. The dermal “no-effect” level of CA 24 in male adult rats is 50 mg/kg bw.
