Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: approximately ten to fourteen weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: males: 209 - 253 g; females: 207 - 237 g
- Housing: the animals were housed in polypropylene cages with sawdust bedding; during the 24-hour exposure period the animals were individually caged and afterwards the animals were caged in groups of five per sex.
- Diet (ad libitum): Rat and Mouse Expanded Diet No. 1, Special Diet Services Limited, Witham, Essex, U.K.
- Water (ad libitum): mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: minimum of five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 - 22°C
- Relative humidity: 45 - 60%
- Air changes: approximately 15 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): for the purpose of this study the specific gravity (1.292), as given by the study sponsor, was used to calculate the appropriate dose volumes for the required dose level.
Dose volume: 1.55 mL/kg

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: on the day of the test the back and flanks of each animal were clipped free of hair using veterinary clippers to expose a skin area of approximately 6 cm X 12 cm.
- % coverage: the calculated volume of the undiluted test material was applied uniformly to an area of shorn skin approximating to 10% of the total body surface area using a graduated syringe.
- Type of wrap if used: a piece of surgical gauze measuring 7 cm X 4 cm was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a double layer of elastic adhesive bandage (ELASTOPLAST) wrapped around the trunk of the rat. The bandage was tightened sufficiently to prevent the animal wriggling free.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with moist absorbant paper to remove any residual test sample.
- Time after start of exposure: after the 24-hour contact period

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males / 5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: all animals were observed for overt signs of toxicity and mortality 1 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently at least once daily for 14 days.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on the day of treatment (day 0) and days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; all animals were subjected to gross necropsy examination for any macroscopic abnormalities. No tissues were retained.

Statistics:

Using the mortality data, an assessment of the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was made.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: Hunched posture and pilo-erection were observed in all rats on day one, one hour after removal of the dressings. Additional signs of toxicity also seen at this time in some animals consisted of lethargy, staining around the eyes and a decreased respirator

Gross pathology:

All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. No abnormalities were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of Rezal 67 solution to the rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
According to the EC-Commission directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments, the test substance is not classified as acute toxic via the dermal route.
According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and its subsequent amendments, the test item is not classified as acute toxic via the dermal route.
