Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the acute dermal LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore the substance is not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Test Guidance

OECD Guideline 402 and EC Method B.3 (Acute Toxicity Dermal)

Method and materials

A group of ten Wistar (RccHanTM:WIST) rats (5 males and 5 females) were given a single dermal application of test item at 2000 mg/kg bw. The test item was placed directly on back and flanks of the skin representing approximately 10 % of the total body surface of the animals. The test site was then covered by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 h. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days.

Results

No mortality and no clinical signs were observed during the study. There were no signs of dermal irritation. All animals showed expected gains in body weight over the observation period. No macroscopic abnormalities were observed at necropsy. The combined dermal LD50 was considered to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Conclusion

Under the test conditions, the acute median dermal LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
