Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- All animals survived until the scheduled termination of the study
- Clinical signs:
- other: 1/5 females were affected 1 d p.a. . The finding 1 d after the administration was : chromodacryorrhoea Chromodacryorrhoea is attributed to the discomfort produced by the dressing and is not necessarily considered to be a toxic affect .
- Gross pathology:
- All animals were normal at terminal necropsy .
- Other findings:
- Observations of the skin condition : Slight yellow staining of the skin at the application site was noted from 1 d p.a. until 2 d p.a. . This discoloration is directly attributed to a staining property of the test substance and not considered to be a toxic effect . Except for this , the exposed skin was not found to be altered by the test substance .
No noteworthy sex difference in the response to the test substance was derived from clinical observations or post-mortem findings .
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed according to the OECD TG402 without deviations and therefore considered to be of the highest quality (reliability Klimisch 1).The validity criteria of the test system was fulfilled. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD (Crl: CD® (SD) IGS BR) strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The test material does not meet the criteria for classification and will not require labelling for dermal toxicity in accordance with EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 93/21/EEC.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity of the test material was investigated in rats. The test was conducted according to OECD TG402 and EU Method B. 3. 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance was applied semiocclusive to the shaved skin of rats. After 24 h the animals were unwrapped and observations were made for a period of 14 days. No mortalities occured during the study. There were no signs of systemic toxicity reported. Signs of dermal irritation noted during the study were slight yellow staining of the skin at the application site from 1 d p.a. until 2 d p.a. . This discoloration is directly attributed to a staining property of the test substance and not considered to be a toxic effect . Except for this , the exposed skin was not found to be altered by the test substance. Body weights and body weight gain were unremarkable during the entire study in all males. A slight body weight loss was noted in 2/5 females in the first week. This might be due to the discomfort, caused by the dressing and was not considered to be toxicologically significant. Body weights and body weight gain were unremarkable in the second week in all females. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The test material does not meet the criteria for classification and will not require labelling for dermal toxicity in accordance with EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 93/21/EEC.
