Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Version / remarks:
17 July 1992
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
- exposure time 24 hrs instead of 4 hrs, 6 animals instead of 3, few details in test description and reporting
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A combined study on acute dermal toxicity and on local tolerance was used to assess skin irritation/corrosion. The study design and reporting deviates from the current OECD TG 404, however, the study is considered sufficient for assessment of this endpoint.
GLP compliance:
yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A single dermal administration of the test substance for 24 hours to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg (212-236 mg/male and 190-222 mg/female applied as a paste) was tolerated without any local irritations.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study similar to OECD TG 404, (young adult) Wistar rats, female and male (3/sex) were dermally exposed to 212-236 mg/male animal or 190-222 mg/female animal of D-ET-Dienon in physiological saline for 24 hours. Animals then were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method according to the system recommended in Directive 67/548/EEC.


 


No local irritations were observed. In this study, the test item is not a dermal irritant.
