Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material after dermal application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test), young adult Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of undiluted test item to the clipped skin (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk) and covered by semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The application area comprised at least 10% of the total body surface area. The animals were observed for 14 days. The following test item-related local effects were recorded during the course of the study:

· No mortality occurred

· No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals

· Slight to moderate erythema (grade 1 to 3)

· Slight to well-defined edema (grade 1 to 2)

· Incrustations

· Scaling

· Severe scaling

· Skin findings beyond the application area

· Significant scratching behavior

· The mean body weight of the animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period

· No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals examined at the end of the study.
