Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Five 9-week-old male rats with the average body weight of 297 g and five 9-week-old females with the average body weight of 180 g were used in the experiment.
During quarantine and experiment the animals were kept in air-conditioned rooms with the following parameters:
-temperature: 19 - 22 °C;
-relative air humidity: 45 - 70%;
-artificial, fluorescent lighting: 12 hours light / 12 hours darkness.
The animals were kept in cages with plastic bottom and wired lid, with dimensions: (length x width x height) 58 x 37 x 21 cm. Following administration of the test material on animals skin, each one was kept individually per cage. After removal of the test material from animals skin, during the following days of experiment the rats were kept five per cage, each sex separately.
Wooden UV-sterilized shavings were used as a litter. Each cage was equipped with label containing information on name of test material, study code, used dose, start date and planned ending date of the experiment, animal sex and animal numbers.
Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
The undiluted test material was applied to the dorsal skin of 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) in dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. The area of skin treated with the test material was about 6 cm2. The test material was applied to gauze patches and then laid on the prepared skin. The gauze patches were covered with PCV foil and elastic bandage was used to make circular protecting band. After 24 hours the band and gauze patches were taken off and the residual test material was removed using water.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:

Details on study design:
Clinical observations comprised of evaluation of general condition of animals as well as detailed clinical observations. Evaluation of general condition of animals, i.e. observation of all animals in regards to mortality and morbidity was conducted twice a day during 14-day observation period. Following administration of the test material, detailed clinical observations were performed in hour intervals during the day of administration
(day 0). Since the first till the 14th day of observation period detailed clinical observations were performed once a day.
Body weight of animals was determined individually for each animal directly before administration of the test material (day 0) and then on seventh and fourteenth day - before the finishing of the experiment.
All animals were euthanized after 14-days observation period by peritoneal administration of sodium pentobarbital and then dissected. After opening of thorax and abdomen macroscopic examination of internal organs was performed.

Additional information

The oral and dermal LD50 values are greater than 15,000 and 23,000 mg/kg, respectively, for studies conducted prior to 1982. More recent studies were conducted at much lower doses with no treatment-related effects reported. The inhalation LC0 value was 0.000008 ppm with no treatment-related deaths reported when testing under a saturated vapor concentration.

Justification for classification or non-classification

As per Guidance to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, BADGE will not be classified for acute oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity.
