- Details on study design:
- A single application of the test material was applied on the clipped epidermis (dorsal and dorsolateral parts of the trunk), ca 50 cmxcm. The application site was covered with an semiocclusive dressing for 24 hours. Afterward the dressing was removed and the application site was rinsed with warm water.
The signs and symptoms of toxicity were recorded several times on the day of application, at least once each working day. A check for moribund and dead animals was conducted each working day and once on holidays.
30-60 min after removal of the semiocclusive dressing a scoring for skin findings was conducted, and again one week later and before termination of the study.
- The body weights of the individual animals were gathered prior to application of the test material and on day 7 and 13 after dosing.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Deceased animals and those sacrificed at the end of the observation period (on day 14 after dosing) were necropsied. 16 h before sacrifice the food was withdrawed and the animals were sacrificed with CO2. - Sex:

Additional information
A GLP-compliant study, performed according to OECD guideline 423, was performed to assess the acute toxicity following oral administration of the test substance in Wistar rats. Single doses of 2000 mg/kg bw of test substance preparations in olive Ph.Eur./DAB were given to two administration groups ot three fasted female animais, by gavage in a sequential manner. No mortality occurred. ClinicaI observation revealed blue discolored feces. This finding was observed from hour 3 until including hour 5 after administration. The mean body weights of the administration groups increased throughout the study period. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals examined at the end of the observation period.
Under the conditions of this study the LD50 of the test substance after oral administration was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight in rats.
As outlined in the data waiving for the need of testing for acute dermal toxicity, no hazard is identified for acute dermal exposure.
For supporting evidence, a GLP-compliant acute dermal toxicity study following OECD testing guideline 402 with a structural analogue is presented. CAS 108300 -90 -9 has a higher degree of substituion (three versus 1) and therefore has a higher molecular weight. This makes it not suitable as stand-alone replacement. The analogue substance caused no systemic toxicity and no mortality in the acute dermal toxicity in rats at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Scoring of local reactions was limited due to the blue staining by the test substance. This would however also have been observed for the target substance as it is also a blue colorant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)
The available studies are considered reliable and suitable for classification purposes under 67/548/EEC. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral and dermal toxicity under Directive 67/548/EEC.
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral and dermal toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
