Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the current study, the test article DBE showed no signs of toxicity in female and male rats over a period of 14 days when applied dermally once at 2000 mg/kg bw. The LD50 can therefore be concluded to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. Based on this Result DBE is not classified according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
Executive summary:

DBE has been tested in an acute dermal toxicity study using Crj: CD(SD) rats, according to OECD guideline n° 402 and EU guideline n° B.3 in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice.

The test item was applied once under semiocclusive conditions to the shaved backs and flanks of the animals at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg for 24 h (5 males + 5 females per dose, 5 x 7 cm²).

Clinical signs, mortality and body weight gain were checked for a period of up to 14 days after the single administration of DBE. All animals were subjected to necropsy.

No mortality was recorded in both groups during the study. Body weight gain of the treated animals was not affected by treatment. At necropsy, no abnormalities were observed in any animal.

As the LD 50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg, DBE is not classified according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
