Acute oral toxicity was determined in GLP compliant study OECD 420 using 5 female and 5 male Wistar Albino rats (age 6 to 9 weeks and weight between 120 and 220). The test substance was administered neat as a single dose using a stainless steel intragastric feeding needle (5000 mg/kg bwt) following an overnight fast, and the animals observed for 14 days post-treatment. There were no deaths or any clinical signs noted following treatment and the animals gained weight normally. No gross abnormalities were detected at autopsy on study day 14. The results showed that the acute oral LD50 of Ceraphyl 55 is greater than 5000 mg/kg bwt.

- Details on dermal exposure:
- The dorsal area of the trunk of each animal was prepared using a clipper. The test site was approximately 10% of the body surface. The test article was applied to the skin of the animal at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The dose was calculated based on the sample specific gravity. The test site was gentle covered with a 4 ply porous gauze dressing measuring 10x15 cm. The torso of the animal was wrapped with plastic in a semi-occlusive manner using a specific tape. The test material remained in contact with the skin for 24 hours. After 24 hour of exposure, the wrapping was removed by gentle washing with distilled water.

The bodyweight was recorded prior to testing, weekly and at termination.
The sacrifice of the animals was conducted using CO2, followed by gross pathology examination.
The test sites were scored at 24 hour, 7 and 14 day time points according to the numerical Draize scoring code. Observation included evidence of ulceration, necrosis and tissue damage. - Statistics:

- Executive summary:
The test material Ceraphyl 55 was tested on five male and five New Zealand White rabbits to evaluate the acute dermal toxicity.
The test article was applied onto the dorsal area of the trunk of each animal. The test material was applied to the skin of the animal at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The test site was gentle covered with a 4 ply porous gauze dressing measuring 10x15 cm and the torso of the animal was wrapped with plastic in a semi-occlusive manner. Dermal responses were recorded at 24 hours, 7 and 17 days after exposure. The animals were also observed for mortality, pharmacological effects and body weight changes. After sacrifice, a gross pathology examination was performed.
No mortality occurred during the study. The body weight values were in the normal range and the necropsy did not reveal any abnormalities. Instances of a few faeces were observed during the 14 day. The result of the study shows that the acute dermal toxicity LD50 of Ceraphyl 55 is >2000 mg/kg.

Additional information
Three acute toxicity studies are available on the test material Ceraphyl 55.
The first is an acute oral toxicity study conducted by Consumer Pruduct Testing (1985). The study was performed using a protocol similar to guideline study OECD 420, under GLP conditions. The test material was administrated to five females and five males Wistar Albino rats (age 6 to 9 weeks and weight between 120 and 220). A single dose was given using a stainless steel intragastric feeding needle (5000 mg/kg bwt) following an overnight fast. The animals were observed for 14 days post-treatment. There were no deaths or any clinical signs noted following treatment and the animals gained weight normally. No gross abnormalities detected at autopsy on study day 14. The results showed that the acute oral LD50 of Ceraphyl 55 is greater than 5000 mg/kg bwt.
A second oral toxicity study was conducted by MB Research Laboratories (2004). The study was design to investigate the acute toxicity potential of Ceraphyl 55 according to EPA OPPTS 870.1100 (Acute Oral Toxicity) guideline and under GLP conditions. Five female Wistar albino rats were dosed orally with the test material at 2000 mg/kg dose level. Animals were observed 1/2, 1, 2, and 4 hours postdose and thereafter once daily for 14 day for toxicity and pharmacological effects. They were observed twice daily for mortality and body weights were recorded prior pre-test, weekly and at termination phase. No mortality was observed during this study, no abnormal physical signs were noted during the observation period. Necropsy results were normal. In conclusion, the LD50 for acute oral toxicity of Ceraphyl 55 is greater than 2000 mg/kg.
A third study was conducted by MB Research Laboratories (2004) in order to investigate the acute dermal toxicity of Ceraphyl 55 in rabbits.
The test article was applied onto the dorsal area of the trunk of five male and five New Zealand White rabbits at dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The test site was gentle covered with a 4 ply porous gauze dressing measuring 10x15 cm and the torso of the animal was wrapped with plastic in a semi-occlusive manner. Dermal responses were recorded at 24 hours, 7 and 17 days after exposure. The animals were also observed for mortality, pharmacological effects and body weight changes. After sacrifice, a gross pathology examination was performed.
No mortality occurred during the study. The body weight values were in the normal range and the necropsy did not reveal any abnormalities. There were instances of a few faeces were observed during the 14 day observation period. The result of the study shows that the acute dermal toxicity LD50 of Ceraphyl 55 is >2000 mg/kg.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, Ceraphyl 55 does not meet the criteria for classification for acute toxicity under EU Regulation 1272/2008.
